Ever notice how some people seem to get instant respect when they speak… while others have to fight to be heard?

Spoiler: it’s not luck. It’s language.

The truth is, the way you speak teaches people how to treat you.

Every tone, pause, and “sure, no problem” sets a standard. Whether you meant to or not.

In this episode, I’m diving into how to speak with boundaries and backbone, without sounding bossy, cold, or defensive.

Because confidence doesn’t have to come with a megaphone (or an apology).

Here’s what you’ll walk away with 👇

✅ How to set boundaries through your tone—not through tension
✅ Why confidence is “volume neutral” (and what that actually means)
✅ The one rehearsal exercise that will make your next “no” sound like power, not panic
✅ Phrases you can start using today that sound kind and clear

If you’ve ever felt like your voice gets overlooked, interrupted, or overrun, this one’s for you.

Because when your words and worth finally line up, you don’t have to demand respect. You command it.
