Women and Assertiveness: Why Speaking Up Still Feels Dangerous

Send us a text

Why does speaking up still feel like a risk for so many women? In this bold and truth-packed episode of The Hint Hive: Amplifying Women’s Voices, your feminist life coach and psychotherapist host, Kelly Hint, unpacks the deep-rooted cultural conditioning that makes assertiveness feel dangerous for women—and why reclaiming your voice is nothing short of revolutionary.

We explore the psychological and societal backlash women face when they dare to be direct, confident, or unapologetically clear. From the workplace to the dinner table, from gender norms to intersectionality, this episode dives into the systems that silence us—and how we can unlearn them.

Expect fire and facts, with practical steps to build your assertiveness muscle, own your voice, and stop shrinking to fit into spaces that were never built for your power. If you've ever hesitated before saying what you really think, this episode is your permission slip—and your battle cry.
