That simple two-letter word, 'no', might be the most powerful tool you're not using enough in your twenties.
But what's the real cost of saying yes to everything?
This episode unpacks how to reframe "no" as an act of self-respect rather than rejection, and provides practical approaches to declining requests confidently: the direct no, the kind no, the boundary-setting no, and the no without over-explanation (because you don't owe anyone a five-paragraph essay justifying your decision!).
The most successful, respected people have mastered the art of saying no, and this episode will get you one step closer to being 'that' person.
Enjoy!
