FIM 53: Learning How to Speak Up for Yourself
Description
It's 5th grade graduation day and an unorganized pack of eager parents all push their kids towards the photo backdrop all at the same time. But you were already there waiting before this new wave arrived.
What do you do? Do you speak up for yourself and tell the dad that just joined the C shaped queue that it's actually not his turn? Or do you bite your tongue, swallow your frustration at being looked over yet again, and physically position yourself to telepathically tell the others that you are going next?
It's a simple scenario, but we've all been there, right? And like it or not, as women, we have been socialized to be people pleasers. Which means advocating for ourselves in any capacity--be it at the photo line or in our boss' office--is difficult and usually comes with a lot of anxiety, dread, and feelings of unworthiness.
This week host Amanda Haro, burnout & confidence coach for moms, explains how to speak up for yourself without feeling anxious.
