Do you struggle to say no — even when you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, or just need a break? In this episode, Shauna B gets real about people-pleasing, guilt, and why saying yes to everything might be costing you your peace. She shares a personal story about overcommitting, how she learned to set boundaries without feeling selfish, and the mindset shift that helps you say no with confidence and compassion.

You’ll learn:

• Why guilt shows up when you say no
• Simple ways to protect your energy without losing connection
• How to reframe boundaries as self-respect, not selfishness
• Practical scripts for saying no gracefully
• How to create space for what truly matters to you

If you’ve ever felt torn between helping others and taking care of yourself, this episode will remind you that protecting your time isn’t a rejection — it’s self-preservation.

Key Takeaway:

Saying no doesn’t make you unkind — it makes you intentional. Every “no” is an act of alignment that creates room for the “yeses” that actually light you up.

• Energy Check-In Exercise (Does it feel light or heavy?)
• The “Kind No,” “Yes-but-Different No,” and “Boundary Builder” phrases
• The EmpowerHer Community — where women learn to protect their peace and grow together.

In this powerful, honest conversation, three hosts come together to unpack the real magic behind growth, success, and becoming your future self—and it’s probably not what you think.

So many of us are focused on where we should be by now. We measure our lives against timelines, expectations, and other people’s highlight reels. But what if the real question isn’t “Am I ahead or behind?”—what if it’s “What is most beneficial for me right now?”

This episode is all about trusting the process, honoring the journey you’re in, and understanding that who you are becoming is shaped in the moments that feel uncomfortable, slow, or messy.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why we crave success—and how constantly measuring ourselves can actually disconnect us from growth
• Shifting from “Where should I be?” to “What’s most beneficial for me right now?”
• How trusting what you’re going through prepares and molds you for what’s meant for you
• Why the journey itself is required to become the version of you you’re working toward
• Redefining failure—and why it may not exist the way we’ve been taught
• The reminder you need to hear: you are right where you need to be
• How support systems can lead to unexpected opportunities—including lifelong friendships
• Creating community and learning how to intentionally build a support system
• Feeling all the feelings and “completing the circuit” instead of numbing or rushing through emotions
• Why emotions are not distractions—they’re part of the process
• Giving yourself permission to do life messy, imperfect, and one step at a time

Key Takeaways:

Growth doesn’t come from skipping steps—it comes from living them. Every season, challenge, pause, and pivot is shaping you into the person you’re becoming. When you stop fighting the process and start trusting it, everything begins to shift.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need to be “there” yet.
You just need to stay present, supported, and willing to take the next step.

Listen If You’re:

• Feeling behind in life or questioning your progress
• Navigating a transition and unsure what version of yourself you’re becoming
• Craving deeper connection, support, or community
• Learning how to trust yourself and the journey you’re on
• Ready to stop rushing and start honoring your process
