Some families have rules that are never spoken out loud. Don't tell anyone. Keep it in the family. Don't make us look bad. But what happens when you carry those rules into adulthood, your relationships, your career, and even the way you see yourself? In this episode of Unmute with Priya, I'm joined by Laura DuBois, life and career coach, coach educator, and author of The Picked Lock: Everything That Couldn't Be Said and Everything That Finally Was. Laura grew up in a home where secrecy was expected. Now, at 60, she's choosing to tell the stories she spent decades keeping to herself. We get into the difference between privacy and secrecy, how childhood conditioning teaches us to stay quiet, and the emotional cost of being the responsible one who holds everything together. In this episode, we explore: • Why privacy and secrecy are not the same thing • How childhood silence follows us into adult relationships and careers • The hidden cost of being the “good girl” • Why we're not responsible for everyone else's reactions to our truth • What it takes to finally own your story and speak it out loud And there's an unexpected twist behind the title of Laura's book that you'll have to hear for yourself.
