If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation feeling invisible, overlooked, or misunderstood—you’re not alone. Most of us learned a communication style early in life—passive, aggressive, or even passive-aggressive—that helped us survive, but doesn’t help us thrive.

In this episode of Practically Possible, we unpack the psychology behind communication styles and why women, in particular, struggle with assertiveness. You’ll learn:

  • The roots of passive, aggressive, and passive-aggressive communication

  • Why assertiveness is the key to being seen, heard, and valued—without guilt or conflict

  • How attachment styles and nervous system regulation shape the way we speak

  • Practical tools to bring more clarity, connection, and confidence into relationships, conflict, and leadership

Because assertiveness isn’t about being “louder.” It’s about finding your voice, honoring yourself, and creating trust in every space you walk into.
