Episode Summary
Your "yes" has been hijacked by everyone else's urgency, and honestly? It's time for a rescue mission. This episode is for the beautiful souls who've been saying yes to everything except the things that actually matter, wondering when their life became a calendar ruled by other people's priorities.
What if saying no wasn't mean, selfish, or disappointing? What if it was actually the most generous thing you could do - for yourself and everyone around you? This isn't about becoming a hermit. It's about creating space for what wants to grow.
What You'll Hear:
- The reason your "yes" muscle got overdeveloped while your "no" muscle went on sabbatical
- The secret life of boundaries (spoiler: they're garden gates, not prison walls)
- What happens when you stop protecting everyone else's feelings and start protecting your own energy
- The revolutionary act of saying no without a three-page apology letter
Reflection Prompt:
What have you been saying yes to that's actually a no in disguise?
Try This:
The "Sacred No" Practice:
- Notice one thing this week that feels like obligation rather than invitation
- Practice saying: "That doesn't work for me right now" without explaining why
- Use the space you create to do something that actually feeds your soul
