From People-Pleasing to Power Moves: The Assertiveness Shift


Listen Later

Why is being assertive so hard? Whether it’s in relationships, at work, or even with friends, finding the courage to speak up can feel impossible. But here’s the truth—standing your ground doesn’t mean you’re unkind, and setting boundaries doesn’t make you selfish.

In this episode, we’re talking about:
 ✨ The difference between assertiveness and aggression
 ✨ How to communicate with confidence—without over-explaining
 ✨ Personal stories of learning (and failing) to stand up for ourselves

No more people-pleasing. No more second-guessing. It’s time to step into your power.
