#319 Speaking Up or Letting Go?

Michael Lavers
About this episode

In today's episode, I share an issue I've been thinking about for a while - finding the balance between speaking up and letting things go.

In other words, when things annoy us or seem unjust, should we speak up and say something? Or should we prioritise our mental health and let it go? 

I share some of my own views with this and encourage you to get in touch with yours too. I also share lots of expressions related to this topic.
