Whether the Hijackal is a partner, parent, ex, or colleague, what you will learn here will strengthen and empower you to step up, speak up, and stand up for yourself in healthy, assertive ways.

These insights will help you to make the changes--and good decisions--to move from pain to power, and that's exactly what you want to do! Listen now.
