Have you ever said “yes” when every fiber of your being wanted to say “no”? You’re not alone.
In this heartfelt episode of The Slow Burn, Dr. Elena Brooks explores the quiet—but mighty—act of setting boundaries. Discover why saying no isn’t just an act of self-preservation—it’s an act of compassion for yourself and others.
We’ll unpack:
- The fawn response and why people-pleasing feels like second nature.
- Insights from Brené Brown and Nedra Glover Tawwab on boundaries and self-worth.
- Gentle scripts and rituals for practicing small, everyday no’s.
Plus, you’ll hear the fictional story of Joanna—a woman who nearly burned out before learning that boundaries could be her healing balm.
If you’re ready to reclaim your time, energy, and peace—one mindful “no” at a time—this episode is for you.
✨ Your space to breathe and bloom starts here.
