On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I unpack a question that derails more conversations than we realize:

“Why are you yelling at me?”

What if no one was actually yelling?

I talk about how quickly people jump to conclusions based on tone and volume, and how often those assumptions create unnecessary hurt, distance, and conflict. This episode explores why loud does not automatically mean angry, aggressive, or unsafe, and how hearing differences, cultural norms, personality styles, stress, and grief all shape the way we communicate.

I break down why our nervous systems default to defense mode, how emotional memory overrides logic, and why silence and walking away often cause more damage than asking one simple question.

This episode is an invitation to pause before assuming, ask before withdrawing, and choose clarity over conclusions.

Because not every raised voice is a raised fight, and curiosity could save a relationship.

Just seriously missing Sassy this morning 💔 Not that I don’t every morning (afternoon, evening, and all of the minutes in between!) It’s just a more intense missing today.

It’s not an anniversary or any type of “special” day. Just a typical Sunday morning - with atypical frigid temps 🤣

The grief waves. They can show up out of nowhere. Maybe it’s because a ton is happening with Griefhab….. that Sassy should be part of!!! (She is and always will be!) Maybe it’s because I’m about to share another personal change. Maybe it’s just because it’s Sunday Football 🧡

The brain tries to logic what the body just needs to feel. There doesn’t need to be a why. So today, I’m honoring the feelings.

Because avoiding them is more painful! And because this is how Sassy always stays with us!

Who are you missing? Share a favorite picture and story please!

My client said to her husband yesterday, “Can we please reschedule our sushi date for another night? It’s too cold to undress to shower and I definitely don’t want to go outside!”

How many people feel this right now?!!?

We discussed the value of her authenticity - versus staying silent and doing something to avoid potential hurt feelings…..at her own expense.

An indoor evening at home was planned - and there were no hurt feelings.

Speaking up doesn’t guarantee conflict.
Staying silent does guarantee you suffer!!
