Why does getting what you want sometimes feel so wrong? You finally speak up, advocate for yourself, and even win—but instead of feeling victorious, you’re hit with guilt, second-guessing, or a sudden urge to backtrack. What is up with that? Well, in this episode, I’m sharing a real-life situation that left me wondering ...

  • why asking for what I want feels so uncomfortable
  • why getting what I want can feel so much worse than just going with the flow, and

So if you’ve ever struggled to stand your ground, let’s talk about how to move forward with confidence—minus the emotional whiplash!
