One of the biggest things that prevents people from being more assertive is the fear of being judged. As soon as you anticipate shifting to a more assertive communication style, you may experience a ton of fears, like:
-What if people judge me?
-What if people think I sound stupid?
-What if people think I’m overstepping?
-What if people are unimpressed by me?
If the fear of judgment is preventing you from using your voice more powerfully and assertively, I have a very powerful and game-changing message for you in this week’s podcast episode. Tune in if you’re ready to STOP letting your fear of judgment prevent you from stepping into your power as a leader.

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!
