Afew weeks back, I asked the Pod-iance what instances left them fumbling for words and lacking the knowledge of what to say. And wow, did y’all deliver! One listener was stumped on what to say when someone says something you disagree with or that straight-up offends you. Another expressed difficulty speaking up when everyone and their mother has an opinion about what she should do for her wedding. And yet another expressed a tough time being vocal when a well-meaning person dismisses a powerful choice you’ve made (like not wanting kids or not eating meat).
Tough ones, right? Isn’t it easier to just sweep it under the rug or not rock the boat? Sure it is. But there is a cost to letting others mow you over with their words. Every time you choose to silence yourself, you are sending a subconscious message to yourself that your wants, opinions, and needs simply don’t matter as much as other people. That’s a HUGE message to your self-worth! And, not a good message, I may add.
Have a listen to this week’s show where I give a litany of script options of what you can say in the stickiest of situations. Be sure to have your pen and paper handy as this episode is packed with assertive phrases you can use to speak up for yourself without starting a brawl or feeling like an asshat.
This pod explores:
- What to say when you’re offended but don’t want to get into a huge debate
- How to speak up for a powerful choice you’ve made that your family doesn’t agree with
- What to say when you’re totally caught off guard
- How to shut down conversations that make you feel dismissed or backed into a corner
- What to say when someone tells you you’re too “sensitive” or “emotional” or whatever
