In this episode of Conversations Beyond Borders, Susan and Laura dive into the power of assertive communication and why so many of us, especially in midlife, struggle to fully own our voices. After years of prioritizing others, it’s time to step into our confidence and express our needs—clearly, kindly, and without guilt.
We’ll explore:
✨ How to use "I statements" to foster understanding
✨ The role of boundaries in healthy communication
✨ Why speaking up isn’t selfish—it’s essential for authentic connections
✨ Practical ways to overcome discomfort and build confidence
Join us as we redefine what it means to communicate with clarity, confidence, and self-respect. Your voice matters—let’s use it!
