When you leave a conversation wishing you had said something, that tightening in your throat is a signal from your body, not a failure on your part. Self-silencing often feels safer than speaking up, but it comes at a cost. The words you swallow can show up as tension, frustration, or even physical symptoms, because holding things in keeps your system in protection mode.   In this episode, I explore why self-silencing feels instinctive and what it takes to unwind that pattern. You'll learn how to recognise the difference between deliberate, grounded silence and the kind that keeps you stuck, as well as how to start speaking honestly in ways that strengthen rather than threaten your relationships.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://maisiehill.com/253   Join us in the Powerful membership, including the Boundaries Power Class coming up on November 26, 2025: https://maisiehill.com/powerful

Sexual Assault Survivor Stories Podcast with Dave Markel Guest: Anne Marie Hauben I'm honored to share this week's episode of The SASS Podcast with someone whose courage doesn't just echo across a microphone—it reverberates across decades of silence, retaliation, and survival: Anne Marie Hauben. Anne Marie isn't just a guest. She is a truth-teller, an advocate, and a woman who refused to let a lifetime of dismissal define her story. After more than 30 years of carrying the weight of an assault she endured at 18 years old, she decided she would not stay silent any longer. And in doing so, she carved out a path of empowerment for survivors everywhere who feel trapped between trauma and the societal forces that try to suffocate their truth. This conversation is raw, urgent, and profoundly human. Who Is Anne Marie Hauben? • She is a survivor of a 1990 sexual assault, perpetrated during a senior trip to Bermuda when she was 18 and extremely intoxicated. The reported perpetrator was Ward, a former city councilor in Melrose, Massachusetts. (AnneHauben.com) • Anne Marie endured decades of silence shaped by shame, traumatic memory, lack of parental safety, and the fear that telling the truth would bring more harm than healing. (Written testimony) • In 2016 and again in 2018, she privately confronted her perpetrator through personal messages seeking accountability, remorse, or even acknowledgment. Both attempts were ignored; the second resulted in her being blocked. (Testimony) • In 2023, when her perpetrator ran for city council, her trauma was violently retraumatized and shoved back into the light. The anxiety, fear, flashbacks, and PTSD symptoms became overwhelming, forcing her to grapple with her past in a public way to protect herself, her community, and other survivors. (Testimony) • She ultimately sought legal guidance and published a public statement so voters would know who they were electing. Instead of support, she faced a wave of defamation threats, intimidation, and a coordinated effort by community members to discredit her. (Testimony) • Today, she is a vocal survivor-advocate pushing for reform in defamation law, accountability in local government, protections for survivors, and cultural change around how we respond to sexual violence. (AnneHauben.com) • She uses her platform, Amplified Voice Healing, to speak openly about her story, help other survivors reclaim their voice, and educate the public about the patterns of retaliation, shame, and silence that protect perpetrators. (AnneHauben.com) Why I Asked Anne Marie to Be on the Show • Because I'm committed to giving survivors a place where they're believed, respected, and heard—and Anne Marie has spent her entire adulthood being silenced and attacked for speaking the truth. • Because her experience is a masterclass in how systems, communities, and defamation laws are weaponized against survivors who dare to speak out. • Because she embodies the intersection of trauma neuroscience, public accountability, and the lived experience of surviving both assault and decades of retaliation. • Because her voice is needed. For college students. For mothers. For anyone grappling with whether they're "allowed" to speak. For every survivor who worries they'll be called a liar, crazy, or unstable simply for telling the truth. • Because her story is not just her own. It is woven from the same cloth as Chanel Miller, E. Jean Carroll, Christine Blasey Ford, and every survivor whose truth confronted a powerful man shielded by convenience and denial. What We'll Explore in This Episode • The assault itself: what Anne remembers from that night in Bermuda, what trauma did to her memory, and what the aftermath looked like for an 18-year-old trying to survive without support. • The neuroscience of delayed disclosure: why trauma keeps victims silent for years or decades—and how shame, fear, and protective forgetting shape a survivor's timeline. • Retaliation, defamation threats, and silencing: how community members, friends of the perpetrator, and public officials weaponized intimidation against her to shut down her voice. • Rape culture in action: what happens when a small-town political ecosystem decides that a man's reputation is worth more than a woman's truth. • Healing, advocacy, and finding purpose: how Anne turned her pain into public testimony, activism, and a platform for educating others about accountability and survivor protection. My Personal Reflection I want to acknowledge Anne Marie's courage. What she carried for three decades would have broken many people. Yet she continues to speak out with clarity, strength, and conviction, not just for herself but for every survivor who has been told to stay quiet. Listening to Anne Marie share her story so openly, and hearing the resilience and emotional labor it took to put her truth into the public square, is proof that SASS is a platform is for victims and survivors to be able to further their pursuit of justice and the commitment to normalize the conversation. Anne Marie's experience is not just recounting a traumatic event—she's exposing the machinery that keeps perpetrators safe and survivors silent. I'm grateful Anne chose to trust me with her story. I'm grateful my listeners get to learn from her, feel with her, and rethink what accountability truly looks like. And I'm truly proud to have had her on this show. Audience Takeaway • No survivor owes anyone immediate disclosure. Trauma rewrites the rules of time. • Anne's experience is both a warning and a call to action. Rape culture is not theoretical—it's lived every day in the systems that dismissed and attacked her. • If you are a survivor: you're not alone. Your timeline is valid. Your truth is yours to tell when you are ready. • If you are part of a community, a school, a department, or a justice system: please pay attention. These patterns repeat everywhere. Silence is the abuser's best friend. • And if you've ever wondered why survivors take years to speak: this episode will change the way you think about trauma forever. Anne Marie, thank you for standing up, speaking out, and refusing to keep your pain quiet. And to our SASS listeners: brace yourselves. This episode is powerful, necessary, and is one of those important conversations I regularly bring to the podcast to help normalize the conversation about rape and sexual assault.

A billion-dollar startup. A promise to change healthcare forever. And behind the scenes… a massive lie.Tyler Shultz was just starting his career when he joined Theranos, only to discover that the company's breakthrough blood tests didn't actually work. Speaking up meant risking everything—his career, his family relationships, and his personal safety—but it also helped expose one of the biggest frauds in Silicon Valley history.In this conversation, Tyler shares what it was really like inside Theranos, how he found the courage to blow the whistle, and what leaders today can learn about building ethical cultures that last.We cover: ⚖️ What it was like working inside Theranos

In this episode, we open up an honest conversation about what it really means to stand up for yourself and your feelings — even when the world tells you to just “get on with it.” Within military life, there's a constant expectation to be strong, resilient, and unshakable. But where does that leave space for vulnerability, frustration, or just saying, “I'm struggling”?We dig deep into the stigma that often surrounds speaking out in military communities — especially for partners and spouses who are too often labelled as “moaning” or “pad wives” when they voice their thoughts. It's a powerful reminder that sharing your feelings doesn't make you negative, dramatic, or weak — it makes you human.Through open and relatable discussion, we explore how to validate your own emotions without tearing others down, and how to create space for honesty and empathy in a culture that sometimes prioritises silence over truth. Whether you're serving, supporting someone who is, or simply navigating life in a community built on resilience, this episode encourages you to find your voice and use it without guilt.Because strength isn't about suppressing your feelings — it's about standing tall and staying real.

What happens when a grieving mother dares to question her local school district—and ends up accused of stalking? In this powerful episode, attorney Parker Jackson from the Goldwater Institute reveals how one Wyoming mom's courage sparked a First Amendment showdown.

The temperature online feels louder, sharper, and less forgiving by the day. So we decided to do the uncomfortable thing: talk honestly about context, courage, and how to disagree without dehumanizing each other. We trace the spiral from viral clips to moral panic, the way empathy gets weaponized as a political pose, and why whataboutism is the fastest way to kill a real conversation. Along the way, we admit our own fears about posting, the hives and shaky hands that come with saying something unpopular, and the relief of finally choosing brave expression over silence.We go deep on the Charlie Kirk controversy to show how quotes mutate when pulled from their setting, then widen the lens to the broader ecosystem: media echo chambers, confirmation bias, and the illusion that we're all reacting to the same facts. We talk about listening to people we disagree with, seeking nonpartisan reporting, and recognizing when someone is committed to misunderstanding you. Bringing in Africa Brooke's 'The Third Perspective,' we share practical tools for speaking with integrity in an age that punishes nuance.The most personal turn comes with autism, Tylenol, vaccines, and the line between inquiry and taboo. One of us is parenting a child on the spectrum, and we center the harsh realities many families face while arguing for compassionate and curiosity instead of ridicule. We also examine pharma's cultural footprint ~ direct-to-consumer ads, quick prescriptions, and the subtle ways a system conditions us to medicate first and ask later ~ without throwing out the real benefits of Western medicine.If you've felt yourself go quiet to avoid the pile-on, this conversation is for you.

There's more going on in that infamous Republicans groupchat than most realize but the real issue isn't the gossip, it's how easily people trade conviction for comfort. In this episode, we talk about the growing weakness on the Right, the danger of valuing offense over free speech, and why all of our rights must be protected at all costs. We'll also cover more updates on the Charlie Kirk case and how Trump's failures in his second term (including his refusal to release the Epstein list and his submission to Israel) prove that no man should ever be placed where only God belongs.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

This episode launches the Be Cyber Safe NI Takeover — a special three-part youth-led mini-series produced by Children in Northern Ireland (CiNI) in partnership with the NSPCC.Be Cyber Safe NI is a new advisory group of young people, aged 13–17, from across Northern Ireland. Working with CiNI and NSPCC, they explore issues like online privacy, harmful content, AI, and mental health, and share their views directly with parents, policymakers, and professionals.Through this takeover series, the group takes over the Parentline NI Podcast feed to share what life online really looks like from their side of the screen — honest, personal, and sometimes challenging conversations designed to help parents understand the digital world through young people's eyes.In Episode 1 – “Speaking Up”, Maria (15, Portadown) hosts a conversation about why young people often find it difficult to tell parents when something goes wrong online. Featuring real conversations from Theo, Ethan, Matylda, Darragh, and youth worker Paula, the episode explores fear, embarrassment, and trust — and what actually helps when young people need support.It's a thoughtful, down-to-earth discussion for parents, carers, and anyone who wants to build stronger communication around online life.

We sometimes reduce “faith-promoting” stories to those tidy endings—where miracles show up just in time, doubts vanish, and testimony replaces tension. But sometimes growth begins when the script falls apart. For Susan Meredith Hinckley and Cynthia Winward, these stories are nourishing a faith that looks like trust and transformation.  Susan and Cynthia are co-hosts of the At Last She Said It podcast and authors of a new book with the same title. They came to this work from different paths. For Cynthia, the Church just worked. She thrived—until her life took a turn at 40 and her certainty unraveled. For Susan, the discomfort was quieter. She says the Church always fit like an “itchy sweater”—a subtle, persistent misfit that kept her silent. But over time, what had become a “crisis of silence” became a call to speak up.For the past six years, Susan and Cynthia have been inviting women into conversations that began as honest exchanges between friends about big ideas and the real tensions of belonging to a church they both love and feel challenged by. What they've learned is that talking about hard things can be its own kind of faith practice—a way to bring your whole heart to your faith and your community, a way of being known. In this episode, they share practical wisdom for navigating Sundays when belief feels messy, offer a compass for making decisions when clarity is out of reach, and explore how using our voice can help transform hard things into a source connection with each other and a more intimate relationship with a God who loves us without conditions.We hope this conversation expands your imagination for what spiritual strength can look like—and invites you into a faith that's honest, evolving, and a true seedbed for growth.We're so excited to tell you about a new Faith Matters initiative called Organized Intelligence, supported by the Future of Life Institute. Our first gathering will take place November 4-5 in Salt Lake City, where you'll hear from scholars, creatives, technologists, and religious leaders. This gathering is for curious minds, and we would love to see you there!

Listen to this episode commercial free at https://angryplanetpod.comThe episode is about Vanessa Guillén, a US soldier who was murdered at Fort Hood in 2020. She also experienced sexual harassment while in the military. I spoke with ABC Special Correspondent John Quiñones about his new podcast, Vanished. It's a good podcast that covers Guillén's case in-depth and highlights the reforms the Pentagon instituted after.We recorded the show on September 30, Guillén's birthday. That morning, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth delivered a long speech about his own military reforms. Many of the changes Hegseth has pushed through conflict with the changes that Guillén's death ushered in.As such, I thought it was important to get John's reaction to Hegseth's speech. Before we began recording,I told him I planned to ask him about this and he agreed to talk about it.When I asked the question during recording, a public relations person from ABC jumped on the line and asked me to stop talking about Hegseth. I pushed back, but not hard enough.The next day, ABC PR reached out via email to ask if I would cut this moment from the show.I will not. It's included here in full. Further, I want to take a moment at the top to highlight the reasons why I brought up Hegseth's speech. There's a lot to it and, honestly, it demands its own episode. Here are Hegseth's thoughts on toxic leaders.“Today, at my direction, we're undertaking a full review of the Department's Definitions of so-called toxic leadership, bullying and hazing, to empower leaders to enforce standards without fear of retribution or second guessing. Of course, you can't do, like nasty bullying and hazing. We're talking about words like bullying and hazing and toxic. They've been weaponized and bastardized inside our formations, undercutting commanders and NCOs. No more. Setting, achieving, and maintaining high standards is what you all do. And if that makes me toxic, then so be it.”Guillén's case also changed the way the Army investigates sexual harassment. Here are the secretary's thoughts on the current state of official internal military investigations:“We are overhauling an inspector-general process, the IG that has been weaponized, putting complainers, ideologues and poor performers in the driver's seat. We're doing the same with the Equal Opportunity and Military Equal Opportunity policies, the EO and MEO, at our department. No more frivolous complaints, no more anonymous complaints, no more repeat complaints, no more smearing reputations, no more endless waiting, no more legal limbo, no more side-tracking careers, no more walking on eggshells. “Of course, being a racist has been illegal in our formation since 1948. The same goes for sexual harassment. Both are wrong and illegal. Those kinds of infractions will be ruthlessly enforced.”After the speech, Hegseth signed 11 memos that detailed these changes. I'll link them in the show notes. The memos say that the military's definition of “harassment” is overly broad, calls for the end of “anonymous complaints”—something Hegesth also said in his speech, and asks that investigations be completed quickly with the assistance of artificial intelligence.I believe that is all important context for this episode. I also believe that Hegseth's speech and the policy directives represent a regression in the American armed services. I will not pretend otherwise.Listen to the All-New ‘Vanished: What Happened to Vanessa' PodcastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/warcollege. Hosted on Acast.

https://jo.my/eaywef Incident Reporting & Root Cause Analysis: Overcoming the Fear of Speaking Up One of the strongest signs of a healthy safety culture is when team members feel confident enough to speak up and express their concerns. Not just about significant hazards—but also the small things. Loose cords. Leaky hoses. Unsafe stacking. If people remain quiet, minor issues can quickly escalate into substantial risks. But here's the thing—fear often keeps people silent. Fear of blame. Fear of looking weak. Fear of retaliation. That's a problem because silence and safety don't mix. Creating a facility where people feel safe to speak up is key to preventing injuries and improving operations. Here are a few ways to help build that kind of environment: Start by removing the fear of blame. Mistakes happen. Addressing what happened is more important than focusing on who did it. Please make it clear that the goal is learning and preventing, not punishment. Keep communication open—literally. An open-door policy doesn't mean much unless it's real. Leaders should be visible. In the aisles. On the floor. Make time to check in, ask questions, and listen. Safety conversations shouldn't just happen after an incident. Back up your words with action. If someone raises a concern and it goes unaddressed, they will likely refrain from bringing up the next one. Show people that their voice matters by acting on what they report—or at least explaining why something can't be done immediately. Offer anonymous options for reporting. Not everyone's comfortable talking face-to-face. That's okay. Having an anonymous box, hotline, or digital form gives everyone a voice, regardless of their comfort level. Make sure those reports don't collect dust. Reframe what speaking up means. Some folks still think raising concerns makes them look like complainers. Flip that thinking. Reinforce that calling out a hazard or unsafe practice shows strength, awareness, and leadership. As always, these are suggested tips for you. Please ensure that you follow the specific facility's rules and regulations. A facility is only as strong as the people inside it. And people are more likely to stay safe when they know their voice matters. When speaking up is encouraged, listened to, and acted on, safety becomes something everyone owns—not just the folks wearing the vests or holding the clipboards. Build trust. Support your team. And remember—silence doesn't prevent accidents. Speaking up does. Thank you for joining us for another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips. Until we meet next time – have a great week, and STAY SAFE! #Safety #SafetyCulture #SpeakUpForSafety #IncidentReporting #RootCauseAnalysis #NoBlameCulture #StaySafeAtWork

This week on the podcast, we're exploring the gentle art of asking for what you really need—no mind-reading required. From communication in relationships to advocating for yourself at work, we'll unpack why asking can feel uncomfortable and how it's actually a form of self-respect. I'll share relatable stories, clear phrasing swaps, and real data on how direct communication reduces burnout, deepens connection, and strengthens confidence.Follow Your Host:Insta:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/rumor_in_stpetersburg ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@rumor_in_stpetersburg ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FB Page: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/theluxuryofselfcare⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/user/ahnastasia88?si=ab36621742b4474c⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Photo and Music Credit: Cover Art Photography by Tori Radick:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/toricophotography/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Intro/Outro Music Produced by Ryan Blivhovde: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/ryanblihovde/⁠⁠⁠⁠

Fear can silence even the strongest voices. In this clip from See You In Court, attorney Seth Kirschenbaum shares how public pressure led one leader to reverse course—and why that moment reflects a growing climate of fear in America. Co-host Lester Tate reminds us that while speaking up can feel risky, staying silent can be far more dangerous for the rule of law.

Episode pageIn this episode, I share a reading of my recent blog post, based on a Catalysis webinar where I explored what we can learn from Lean in Japan. Since 2012, I've been fortunate to travel to Japan six times with study groups, including those led by the Kaizen Institute, Honsha, and Katie Anderson. Each trip has reinforced the paradox that Lean is both easier and harder in Japan—and that the deepest lessons are not about tools, but about mindsets, culture, and leadership.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy Lean in Japan isn't about “being Japanese,” but about cultivating long-term thinking and respect for people.How Ina Food practices “tree-ring management” and why profit is seen as a byproduct, not the goal.How Toyota reinforces its role as a “people development company” through problem-solving and Kaizen.The double-edged role of Japanese culture: precision and standardization on one hand, but reluctance to speak up on the other.How mechanisms like the andon cord create safer ways to surface problems.What Japanese hospitals are learning from American health systems—and vice versa.Why Kaizen isn't about cost savings alone, but about making work easier and building capability.Memorable lessons from leaders like Dr. Shuhei Iida of Nerima General Hospital: “If you keep doing Kaizen, you will get innovation.”Key Quotes from the Episode“Profit is like excrement produced by a healthy body. Nobody's goal is to wake up and produce excrement — it's just the natural result of living and doing things well.” — Chairman of Ina Food“The role of the leader is to set the vision — that cannot be delegated.” — Japanese executive“If you keep doing Kaizen, you will get innovation.” — Dr. Shuhei Iida, Nerima General HospitalWhy It MattersLean is not a set of tools to copy, but a system of beliefs and practices rooted in respect, learning, and long-term thinking. Speaking up about problems isn't easy—whether in Japan or elsewhere—which is why leaders must create psychological safety and model improvement themselves.Resources & LinksCatalysis webinar recording (available soon)Learn more about upcoming Lean Healthcare Accelerator Experience in JapanWork With MeIf you're a leader aiming for lasting cultural change—not just more projects—I help organizations:Engage people at all levels in sustainable improvementShift from fear of mistakes to learning from themApply Lean thinking in practical, people-centered ways

"Let's be honest—most of us avoid tough conversations because they feel risky or uncomfortable. But the truth is, the conversations we're most afraid to have are often the ones that matter most. Whether it's standing up for yourself, advocating for someone else, or addressing an issue that's been swept under the rug, courageous conversations are how we create real change in our lives and communities."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/motivational-mondays--4180173/support.
