** This ep starts with 2 notes from a mini harmonica that might be hard on the ears but this is a no-edit pod so IT STAYS**

Today I'm telling 2 stories of grown men who have yelled at me. The first one represents my natural response and the second one is a product of all the work that I've done to better be able to stand up for myself in tense situations.

If you are a people pleaser who was taught to avoid conflict and you want to be better at holding your ground and standing up for yourself - this epsiode is for you.
