In this clip from The Mel Robbins Podcast, negotiation expert, bestselling author, and CEO of the American Negotiation Institute Kwame Christian opens up about the tension so many of us feel: wanting to be liked, staying silent to keep the peace, and putting everyone else’s needs ahead of our own.

On the surface, it looks like you’re doing everything right—making compromises, keeping people happy, and earning approval. But inside, it creates turmoil and self-doubt, because deep down you know you’re giving up on yourself, your values, and what truly matters to you.

Kwame shares the life-changing advice from his mentor: “There’s a difference between being liked and being respected. If you want true personal and professional success, you have to be willing to engage with conflict.”

Respect is earned when you find the courage to speak up, ask for what you need, and have the difficult conversations you’ve been avoiding. That’s how you stop silently giving up on yourself and start building a life aligned with who you really are.

If you’ve ever struggled with people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, or finding your voice, this clip will show you why the path to confidence, respect, and real success begins with the courage to embrace difficult conversations.
