Ever find yourself saying things you don’t mean when emotions are running high — then spending hours regretting it? You’re not alone.

Because learning how to speak up without losing your cool is one of the most powerful things you can do for your mental health. Whether you tend to bottle things up until they explode or you say too much in the heat of the moment, this episode offers simple and practical strategies to help you stay grounded and communicate more effectively. Discover how to pause, reflect, and express yourself with intention — so your words support your peace of mind, instead of sabotaging it.
