The Cost of 'I’m Fine': How Silence Sabotages Your Success
We’ve all been there—frustrated, unseen, unsupported—yet when someone asks, “Are you okay?” we respond with the biggest lie in leadership: “I’m fine.”
In this unapologetically raw episode of Success Unscripted, I pull back the curtain on the hidden cost of that simple phrase. This isn’t just about venting at work or bottling up emotions—it’s about how silencing your truth slowly erodes your influence, authenticity, and personal power.
I’ll walk you through:
- Why “I’m fine” is the most expensive phrase in your vocabulary
- How fake politeness is killing your career—and what to say instead
- The secret to authentic communication that commands respect without oversharing
- The uncomfortable (but freeing) art of setting boundaries with bold clarity
If you’re ready to stop shrinking, start speaking, and lead with unapologetic honesty—this is the episode that will change the way you show up in every room.
🎧 Press play. Feel the shift. Your voice matters more than you think.
