EP178 Being Assertive Requires Inner Strength

Welcome to Episode 178 where we look at just how you can build or continue to work on gaining your INNER strength so you can have a confident, strong voice on the OUTSIDE.

In this episode we discuss how in order to feel strong enough on the outside, we might first need to do some work on the inside to build our confidence around the things that are private and personal.  We get into what it means to work on building a strong inner core of self-trust, healthy boundaries and standing in your truth with emotional honesty.  Being assertive can be risky business, or at least feel that way at first, and ironically it requires a lot of courage to be this vulnerable.  This inner muscle work will certainly pay off over time as our insides match our outsides more.

Key Elements:

• Discuss healthy vs unhealthy ways to get needs met and deal with feelings.
• Look at how boundaries play a big part in self-confidence.
• Explore how allowing ourselves to do some healthy accepting of reality keeps us grounded and strong.
