On How to Speak Up When it Matters | Dr. Sunita Sah

Why is it so hard to speak up even when you know something's wrong? 

How many times have you wanted to object, disagree, or opt out of something—but ended up swallowing your words, shaking your head, and just going along?

In this conversation with Joshua Steinfeldt Dr. Sah dives deep into the topic of defiance. She answers why the pressure to comply and ‘go along to get along’ is a corrosive and often invisible force in our society, and how we can radically reframe defiance from a misunderstood negative trait into a crucial, positive force for personal and societal change. 

Stop people pleasing, start living your truth, and speak up when it matters most.
