Let us know what you enjoy about the show!

We explore how the common phrase "it goes without saying" creates missed opportunities for meaningful connection and how explicitly expressing our feelings strengthens our relationships.

• Examining the dangers of assuming our feelings are understood without expression
• Why important emotions like love, pride, and gratitude should never remain unspoken
• The difference in impact between assumed versus explicitly stated feelings
• How emotional shortcuts lead to disconnection in both personal and professional relationships
• Why saying "I appreciate you" sometimes carries more weight than "I love you"
• The reciprocal benefits of expressing pride and appreciation
• Finding fresh ways to express common sentiments to maintain their power

The challenge is to practice not assuming feelings "go without saying." Share your experience with expressing feelings you normally keep unsaid - I'd love to hear from you!
