How to Speak Up, Set Boundaries, and Reconnect in Relationships — Colette Fehr
In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Wendy sits down with licensed psychotherapist, relationship expert, and author Colette Fehr to explore The Cost of Quiet—what really happens when we stay silent in our relationships. From people-pleasing and conflict avoidance to emotional disconnection and self-abandonment, Colette shares why “keeping the peace” often comes at a much higher price than we realize. Together, they unpack how learning to speak up—clearly, calmly, and compassionately—can transform not just our relationships, but our health, confidence, and connection to ourselves.

- The hidden physical and emotional costs of staying silent
- How to speak up without exploding—or abandoning yourself
