Have you ever said “yes” to a business opportunity when your gut screamed “no”? In this episode, I share real-life stories of ignoring those instincts, from messy collaborations to draining clients, and reveal the costly lessons I’ve learned about protecting your “yes.” We dive into why we override our gut (hello, FOMO and people-pleasing), red flags to watch for, and simple, practical ways to set boundaries and say no without burning bridges.

01:20 - Why we say yes when our gut says no

02:52 - Red flags that I’ve experienced with collaborations and clients

06:33 - How to say no gracefully while keeping relationships intact

07:52 - Practical boundary-setting tips that will help you trust your gut in business
