The Cost of Quiet: Why Avoiding Conflict Hurts Your Relationship and How Speaking Up Can Save It
The Cost of Quiet shines a light on the epidemic of avoidant behavior in relationships and shows you how to break the cycle once and for all. Drawing from the latest attachment science and evidence-based therapies, you’ll learn how to approach your partner with openness, honesty, and vulnerability. The ultimate goal: a closer, more securely attached relationship that doesn’t avoid conflict but rather engages with it in a positive, productive way. Speaking up can be the key to a stronger, long-lasting relationship…if you let it. And most importantly, it ensures that you always honor yourself. Coming February 3, 2026 from Penguin Random House.

Writing has been my lifelong passion.
