Healing + Human Potential · How to Be Ambitious Without Losing Your Relationships · 7 Jul 2026 podcast

I would have rather you just said you couldn't because this doesn't feel good for me.

I'm sure it doesn't feel good for you.

And in that moment, I had such a realization of actually it doesn't serve everyone for me to say yes.

and not be able to follow through on that.

What serves me and my relationships is that honesty.

And that I think is incredibly important too when you're ambitious, because we want to support everyone.

We want to pour into every relationship.

We want to do all the things you physically cannot and something's going to give and it's a relationship or it's yourself.

And what I've realized is protecting relationships means that you have to be really honest and you have to

Maybe say no when you want to say yes and you have to get good at that, which I think can be really difficult.

But I come back to that conversation we had a lot because it was such a lesson for me that actually you would have felt way less stretched and stressed if you just had an honest conversation first.

I've learned the resentment lesson the hard, hard way.

I put that on hard mode.

And so what I have realized is we can often think that the honest conversation is going to ruin relationships.

And I think it's the resentment that ruins relationships from the conversations we didn't have.

And I can see in my life where a relationship hasn't worked out because of resentment.

I've been so afraid to have the honest conversation because I've been so afraid to lose the relationship or to disappoint someone, to let someone down.

But actually I've just built up resentment because I haven't spoke my truth there.

And that's been the thing that's eroded the relationship over time.

And so I think you really have to be honest in your relationships.
