When was the last time someone asked how you were doing and actually waited for the answer? In this episode, Dr. Nina Polyné breaks down why the reliable one, the listener, the strong friend always ends up in the audience seat, what the fawn response has to do with your silence, and how to interrupt kindly without feeling rude. If you are the one who always listens and never gets asked, this episode is your permission slip to take up space.

“Every time you wait to be asked, you hand your worth to someone who may not be capable of curiosity. And waiting will not make them capable.”

Sit with these after you listen:

• In which relationship are you most often the audience? Name the actual person.
• What happened to you this week that you haven’t told anyone, only because nobody asked?
• What would you say tomorrow if you didn’t wait for an invitation?
