Do you feel like the people in your life push you around? Like your voice and opinions don’t matter? Or that other people frequently take advantage of you?
Well, here’s the cold, hard truth:
Unless you're comfortable with being assertive, you'll just end up being a doormat. This applies to every relationship you have: with your significant other, with your coworkers and bosses, and even in general social situations.
To make matters worse, many men struggle with being assertive. They didn't have good assertive role models growing up, and they fear exploding with aggressiveness or anger.
But asserting yourself has nothing to do with being aggressive or angry. In fact, it’s the complete opposite.
In today’s show, you’ll discover how to assert yourself effectively, why toxic shame and trauma makes being assertive tougher, and how being assertive improves every relationship you enter.
After listening to this episode, you’ll walk away with the confidence and strategies to ensure that you're seen, heard, and respected—without having to resort to being a brute or being aggressive.
