Why is “no” the hardest two-letter word to say? In this episode, Dr. Alise Murray unpacks why so many of us default to yes, often at the expense of our time, energy, and peace of mind.

You’ll discover:

  • The brain science behind why saying no feels like rejection
  • How chronic yeses lead to burnout, resentment, and relationship strain
  • The NADA framework (Notice, Acknowledge, Decline, Alternative) to make “no” simple and kind
  • Real scripts you can use today to set boundaries without guilt or over-explaining

If you’ve ever agreed to something and immediately regretted it, this episode will give you the tools to disappoint people clearly and compassionately—so you can show up fully for your true yeses.

Listen now to learn how to say no with confidence, protect your priorities, and create more space for the life you actually want.
