Ep 222 How to Bite Back
Manage episode 417219595 series 2991773
Summary
This is the episode I needed several times in my life but it didn't exist back then. In "How to Bite Back," I examine the common misconception that kindness is weakness.
We introverts so often feel the pressure to people-please at the expense of our own well-being. In this episode I aim to empower listeners who identify as people-pleasers to hold boundaries both for self-care and to maintain healthy relationships. Being assertive is standing up for your rights and needs, whilst respecting the rights and needs of others.
I share my ABC framework—Assertiveness, Bravery, Confidence - for we introverts to stand up for ourselves with poise and dignity, to bite back with kindness and transparency.
Key Points
- Kindness isn't weakness; set boundaries.
- Assertiveness respects self and others.
- Communication involves listening and understanding.
