Today’s episode is another piece of my writing that I’m sharing with you. It’s about what it means to build strength as a woman, and what it means to let go of people pleasing and replace it with authenticity and truth. It’s about the grief and struggle involved in saying goodbye to old pieces of ourselves, but also the glory of replacing those pieces with something strong and new.

Welcome! I’m so excited to announce the release of my new ebook “Speak Without Fear: The Smart Ambitious Woman’s Guide to Assertiveness in the Workplace.”
You can grab your free copy at https://www.assertivenessebook.com/
Once you receive your ebook, you’ll receive a link to reserve your spot in the August 9th book club. We’ll be meeting at 10am PST via zoom and I can’t wait to see you there!
And a bit more on today’s episode, which is all about learning to be assertive at work. I spent a lot of time feeling totally afraid and paralyzed at the thought of being more vocal and outspoken, and this became a problem, because assertiveness is extremely important for one’s professional growth.
This is what inspired me to write my ebook. Tune into today’s episode to learn more about why assertiveness matters so much, and why it doesn’t have to feel awful, weird, or agro.
Sending love,
Jess

- Gaining distance & feeling more peaceful during triggering situations
- How being in a hypermasculine environment was challenging to Kara
