682: Less Assuming, More Speaking Up - For People-Pleasers, Codependents + Empaths

Do you reluctantly agree to things you'd rather not do because you don't know how to say no?

When you're annoyed about something, do you say everything is FINE rather than saying what's bothering you?

Do you also tend to judge someone if they don't pick up on how you really feel?

In these situations, there's an expectation that people will intuit our true emotions from the clues we drop.

However, relying on indirect communication can cause stress and resentment in our relationships because how we feel isn't always apparent to others, even if we feel like it is.

The solution is authentic and direct communication, which is usually less comfortable, and why we often act rather than talk things out!

I want to empower you to choose to talk and assert your needs, which is what this episode is about. I'll cover why we find it hard to speak our minds, why we may find it easier to judge and blame others, and ideas for being more authentic in our communication.
