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

Mentioned in this episode:

  • Inspired by Intuitive Sales
  • Connects to Purpose by Design
