    82: The Real Reason You’re So Drained: Fear of Confrontation in the Sandwich Generation

    Have you ever walked away from a conversation wishing you’d spoken up — but instead, you stayed silent to avoid conflict? You’re not alone. For so many sandwich generation women, the fear of confrontation quietly drains energy at work, at home, and in caregiving roles. In this episode of Work it, Live it, Own it!, we’re unpacking how avoiding hard conversations becomes a pressure cooker effect: the more we hold in, the more stress and resentment build. From saying yes to extra projects at work to keeping the peace in family caregiving, silence often comes at the cost of our emotional well-being and relationships. What You’ll Learn in This Episode How fear of confrontation shows up in daily life — at work, at home, and everywhere in between.The hidden connection between silence, burnout prevention, and emotional labor in families.Why “kind but clear” boundaries can protect your energy without damaging relationships.Practical steps to practice speaking up (even if you’re not ready to deliver the words yet). Take Action This Week Write down a boundary you’ve been afraid to set.Draft a “kind but clear” script you could use.Practice saying it out loud — even if you don’t deliver it yet.The truth is, confrontation doesn’t have to mean conflict. It’s about advocating for your needs with compassion and clarity. The more you practice, the less drained you’ll feel. If today’s conversation hit home, don’t just stop here.
