In this episode: We dive into a powerful conversation about self-advocacy, emotional safety, and confident communication. I explore why so many of us internalize discomfort, blame ourselves for other people’s behavior, and struggle to speak up. From the power of assertive silence with communication saboteurs to scripting and rehearsing difficult conversations, this episode is packed with practical tools to help you reclaim your voice, set boundaries, and protect your peace. If you’ve ever felt labeled as “too much” or questioned whether your words matter, this conversation will remind you that your voice is important—and you’re allowed to use it.
Meet my guest: Joan Stenzler is a licensed psychotherapist, coach, and inspirational speaker with over 30 years of experience supporting women in finding their voice and embracing emotional safety. Warm, insightful, and deeply intuitive, Joan blends her expertise in psychotherapy, mindfulness, and body-centered healing to empower women to communicate confidently and advocate for themselves without guilt. In this episode, she shares actionable strategies for building confidence, navigating difficult conversations, and surrounding yourself with supportive, positive energy. Joan’s guidance is both practical and inspiring, offering listeners a roadmap to authentic self-expression and personal sovereignty.
Quote/Piece of Advice: You're not weak. You're not weak for crying. You're not weak for feeling. You're not weak for being.
