Struggling to Be Heard? You’re Not Alone.
Many people find it difficult to be assertive, often confusing it with being aggressive or bossy. But true assertiveness is about expressing yourself confidently and respectfully—without shrinking or steamrolling others.
💡 Key Takeaways from This Episode:
🔹 Own Your Voice – Speak with confidence by shifting your language (e.g., replace “Um, I think maybe…” with “I believe…”).
🔹 Set Boundaries – Say “no” without over-explaining. Try: “I appreciate the offer, but I can’t commit to that right now.”
🔹 Stand Your Ground – If someone interrupts or dismisses your idea, keep speaking and advocate for yourself.
🎯 Your Challenge: In the next 24 hours, find one moment to be more assertive—whether that’s voicing an opinion, setting a boundary, or simply speaking with confidence.
