Y'ALL. In a world that constantly demands our “yes,” learning to say “no” can be a radical act of self-care. Join me as we explore the transformative power of setting boundaries and prioritizing what truly matters. From overcoming guilt and societal pressure to practical tips on redefining your commitments, this episode is all about embracing the art of the “no.” Whether you’re looking to regain control over your schedule, protect your mental health, or just learn to put yourself first, this conversation will inspire you to reclaim your time, energy, and peace—one “no” at a time. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING <3.
