“Silence feeds shame. It gives it a home inside us, where it can grow like a parasite.”

“You have gotten away with this behaviour for far too long. Not because it is acceptable, but because those around you failed you by not calling it out—by minimizing it, excusing it, and normalizing what you do.”

“Silence and inaction normalize behaviour that should never be normalized.”

“Perhaps the real question is not what might go wrong if we speak, but what it costs us to keep remaining silent.”

“Today, I no longer see conflict as a negative experience. I see it as an opportunity for learning.”
