What is assertiveness?

Being assertive is about making space to say and act in a way that honors your wants and needs while also allowing for others to be seen and heard.

It is about creating a playing field of equal presence, respect and values and not sacrificing your own voice or that of anyone else’s.

It is about detaching our worth and value from the reactions, responses and opinions from others while still being able to engage openly in the world.

And more importantly, it is about honoring your authentic self and shedding the shame stories and limiting beliefs that have been crippling you for so long.
