Ep 31. Part 3: The Loudest Boundaries are Unspoken (Don't Take Yourself Lightly)

2026-10-1531:40

In Part Three of The Loudest Boundaries Are Unspoken, we discuss how committing to not taking yourself lightly—that is, carrying yourself with high regard—is an unspoken boundary that speaks volumes about how others should treat you. What you’ll learn in this episode: The TRUE, firm foundation for carrying yourself as someone worthy of high regard—one that goes DEEPER than “self-love” and “seeing yourself as worthy.” How the WAY you use your voice shapes how people perceive the strength of your boundaries. What people register when you enter a room before you even SPEAK—and how it influences the way they treat and engage with you. IG: @clearernotlouder

2026-10-0833:44

In this episode, we explore how to express a boundary without feeling controlling, rude, or as though you’re being “too much.” In Part Two of The Loudest Boundaries Are Unspoken, we chat about managing your attention as a form of boundary—and how people can learn what you are and are not available for without you having to spell everything out-- or say much at all. What you’ll learn in this episode: The difference between trying to control someone else’s behavior and deciding where your own attention will and will not go. What to do when you want OUT of a conversation and someone continues talking ON and ON—even after you've given EVERY body cue imaginable How to decline participation in gossip without delivering a speech, overexplaining yourself, or making the moment more dramatic than it needs to be.

Ep 29. Part 1: The Loudest Boundaries are Unspoken

2026-10-0132:51

In this episode, we explore the boundaries people can FEEL—the kind that indirectly let people know how to treat you without you having to bark instructions at them. This conversation is especially for the girl who already knows when someone has made her uncomfortable but feels squirmy and uncomfy about calling it out bluntly or directly. What you'll learn in this episode: The difference between traditional "vocal" boundaries and the boundaries people pick up on without being explicitly told—the kind that make someone think, "For some reason, I better not speak like that around her. Let me adjust myself." The three subtle cues we all give that people pick up on when determining how carefully and thoughtfully to treat us. What it can look like to respond to an insult when directness doesn't come naturally to you—no more giggling to make things less awkward, by the way! IG: @clearernotlouder

2026-09-2448:02

In this episode, we explore what it looks like to make friends in adulthood as an ambitious woman—from getting past the beliefs that make putting yourself out there feel harder than it needs to, to finding people who are actually OPEN to connection. We also chat why ambitious women need ambitious friends, beginning again after friendship loss, and a few things I learned from my experience at the Create & Cultivate Festival. What you'll learn in this episode: The two beliefs that quietly make adult friendship HARDER than it needs to be: that putting yourself out there is a humiliation ritual (it's not!), and that everyone is on a no new friends vibe (they're not) Tangible ways to meet and genuinely connect with people—even if you're introverted (i've got 7 for ya!) How to dust yourself off and try again when a potential friendship fizzles and you feel discouraged about trying again. IG: @clearernotlouder

Ep.27 Being Clear Doesn't Mean Telling People What to do

2026-09-1732:38

In this episode we explore how to remain your warm, kind, and whimsical self while being clear and direct (you can be both!). We also discuss why being clear doesn't mean telling people what they can and cannot do and how to be clear and direct sans the fear of being rude, blunt, or "mean." What you'll learn in this episode: The difference between being clear and being controlling—and why they two are NOT actually related How to free yourself from the responsibility of how someone processes your directness How to communicate what you want, what you're available for, and what you will do next while leaving other people responsible for their own choices.
