101. Assertive Authentic Communication: How to Say What You Mean Without Losing Connection
Description
Authentic communication isn’t about saying whatever comes naturally. It’s about aligning what you say externally with what you truly think, feel, want, value, and choose internally. Sometimes what feels “natural” is simply a communication pattern you’ve practiced for years, not what is actually most aligned with who you are.
In this episode, I walk you through the difference between passive, aggressive, and assertive communication, and why the goal isn’t to choose between clarity and connection. You'll learn how to recognize wishy-washy communication, stop making people guess what you mean, and practice the four steps of assertive authentic communication: align, express, connect, and hold.
