What to Say

You do not need perfect words. You need a sentence that is honest, kind, and still includes you.

Start here

Help me find the wordsChoose the conversation and begin with a script you can make your own.Turn this feeling into a requestFind the need first when you know something is wrong but cannot say what.

Practise before the real conversation

Rehearse the conversationTry the words, hear the tone, and make adjustments somewhere safe.Repair after conflictSay what mattered, own your part, and ask for the repair you need.Stop apologising for existingNotice reflexive apologies and replace them with words that do not make you smaller.Say it at workTake the hedging and the sorries out of the message before you send it.
