3. How to not be a human doormat a.k.a. standing up for yourself

Hi everyone. In this weeks podcast, I discuss the importance of standing up for yourself and not being a doormat. Many people struggle with standing up for themselves, often because they fear confrontation, rejection, or simply don't want to upset others.

We explore the negative consequences of failing to stand up for yourself, such as being taken advantage of, feeling resentful or angry, and losing respect for yourself. We delve into some of the reasons why it can be difficult to stand up for oneself, such as past experiences of rejection or trauma, cultural or societal expectations, and personality traits like people-pleasing. I offer practical tips for overcoming these barriers, including setting clear boundaries, practicing assertive communication, and building self-confidence.
