A Harvard Law grad, negotiation expert, and author of Unlearning Silence, Elaine has spent the last decade teaching people how to have difficult conversations. But it wasn’t until she confronted her own self-silencing that the real work began.

We talk about how silence gets rewarded, how it gets internalized, and what it really means to reclaim voice.
