Part 3: Microaggressions. How to Deal With Them
Recognizing microaggressions is one thing—responding to them is another. In this episode, we break down the art of addressing microaggressions with assertiveness, wisdom, and emotional control. Whether you gently correct someone (call-in) or firmly set a boundary (call-out), the goal isn’t to prove a point—it’s to protect your peace.
The 3-Step Framework for Responding to Microaggressions:
Emotional Regulation – How to ground yourself before responding
Choosing Your Approach – The difference between calling in and calling out
Holding Your Ground – Maintaining dignity, self-respect, and clarity
Every response you give teaches people how to treat you. The way you hold yourself in these moments determines whether you stay in cycles of silent harm or step into self-respect and empowerment.
This isn’t easy work. You’ll have moments of doubt, but your voice matters, and your boundaries are valid. In this episode, we share real-life examples of firm yet compassionate responses and explore the balance between strength and empathy.
