03//Scripts for Saying No ( That don't make you feel like a monster)

The Boundaries Business & Balance Podcast | Reclaim Your Time, Set Boundaries , Simplify Your Business , Be Present at Home

How many times have you said “yes” to something you immediately regretted?

Whether it’s a meeting, a favor, or that “quick” coffee chat that ends up stealing your afternoon…
Saying yes when you really want to say no is draining—and it’s time to stop.

In this episode, we’re rewriting the narrative around saying no. You’ll learn:

• Why saying “no” is not selfish—it’s strategic
  
• The moment I realized my “yes” was costing me my peace
  
• 3 real-life scripts you can use to say no with kindness and clarity
  
• How to set boundaries in your business and your personal life—without guilt
  
• A bonus mindset shift if you're a mom (or constantly carrying emotional weight)
  

Plus, I’m giving you this week’s Unplug Challenge: Say no one time.
Just once. No apology. No over-explaining. Just a clear, confident “no.”
