Have you ever been cut off mid-sentence, had your idea hijacked, or been completely misunderstood with no chance to recover? If you're someone who already finds speaking up challenging, these moments can feel devastating. In this episode, I'm sharing exactly how to reclaim your voice and communicate with unshakeable confidence.

What I'm Covering:

The real psychology behind why people interrupt—from enthusiasm to power plays
My proven strategies for recovering in-the-moment when someone cuts you off or misunderstands you
How to have follow-up conversations that prevent future interruptions without damaging relationships

Use Your Body Language - How to project confidence even when you're feeling rattled
Address Misunderstandings Immediately - Scripts for clarifying without being defensive
Bridge Back to Your Point - Techniques for returning to your original contribution
