Say It!
Ask For What You Want.
Not speaking up for what we need is a major cause of unhappiness. But once we see that asking improves our relationships and helps others, it can give us the courage and clarity to speak out effectively.

“Say It” looks at why we find it so hard to ask for what we need when it’s one of the main causes for unhappiness and disappointment in our relationships. By misguidedly believing that it’s selfish and inappropriate to ask, we tend to ask ineffectively or don’t ask at all. When we examine how the “ripple effect” of asking allows others to be an authentic part of our lives, and by meeting our needs they met theirs, it gives us the courage, conviction and clarity we need to ask in a way that will lead to a more productive and peaceful life.
