In this episode of the "Get a Six Figure Job You Love and Thrive" podcast, host Natalie Fisher explores the challenge of saying the hard thing—whether asking a seemingly stupid question or confronting a difficult person. She shares personal stories, including not knowing what an "AR" meant at AbeBooks, dealing with a micromanaging boss, and standing up to a intimidating lawyer. From these anecdotes she distills a practical framework: identify the fear, imagine the worst‑case scenario, plan a response, and then speak up promptly. She explains how avoiding the conversation creates mental drama, wasted energy, and burnout, while speaking up leads to authenticity, faster decision‑making, and stronger relationships. Throughout, she emphasizes listening to one’s inner wisdom and valuing oneself. The episode concludes with a promotional segment for her 14‑question Value Vision Quiz, designed to help listeners assess how accurately they value themselves, and an invitation to book one‑on‑one coaching sessions.
