If you struggle to communicate assertively, you’re not alone. I’ve coached over 100 women and assertiveness is one of the most common struggles I’ve seen as a coach.
The good news is, there IS a way to become more assertive and there’s a way to do it that can feel GOOD and AUTHENTIC to you. So many women worry that in order to be assertive, they have to act rude, aggressive, or inauthentic. This actually isn’t true and this belief is based on a misunderstanding of what assertiveness actually is.
In today’s episode, I’m helping you shift your mindset around assertiveness and I’m showing you that true assertiveness will always feel authentic when your mindset is in the right place.
Tune in to hear how one simple mindset shift can change the entire game for you when it comes to assertiveness. I can’t wait to dive in!!

If you ever find yourself feeling stuck in your quest for growth – I want to normalize this experience and remind you that building self-confidence takes TIME. If you’re anything like my clients, you want to achieve change quickly, and you’re putting a TON of pressure on yourself to make fast progress.
And while it’s totally normal to want to achieve fast results, I’m here to remind you of something you already know:
Slow and steady wins the race.
And when it comes to building confidence especially, it’s hard to make meaningful change when you’re in a big rush.
In today’s episode, I’m here to encourage you to keep going and to remind you that giving yourself permission to go slow in actuality is the smartest path to fast (and enduring) results.
Tune in if you’re in need of a pep talk, a mindset shift, and a permission slip to do things slowly and imperfectly.
Let’s dive in!

If you feel like you’re a mess some days and you worry you’ll never feel confident or ‘together’ enough to succeed professionally - I have an important message to share with you.
Being a powerful leader does NOT come from you being perfect and keeping it together all of the time. It comes from you knowing how to navigate the ups and downs that leaders inevitably face. The way you’ll get good at this is by giving yourself permission to navigate YOUR OWN internal ups and downs. This is why when it comes to leadership - being an imperfect, messy, struggling human is a GOOD thing.
Tune into this week’s episode for more perspective on this.
