She realized that she'd been taught to be a people pleaser – and that it wasn't getting her what she wanted in life.

Ivna devoted herself to learning how to be more assertive. She ultimately got so good at it that she now helps misunderstood professionals speak up without coming across as rude or aggressive so that they can be taken seriously, respected and recognized.
