Want more peace, less pressure, and a holiday season that actually supports your healing? We dive into the art of saying no—how to read your body’s signals, stop fear-driven yeses, and make choices that protect your energy without guilt. Drawing from Jen’s personal experiences with betrayal, divorce, and recovery, we unpack what happens when we ignore our instincts and how simple, compassionate boundaries can change everything.
You’ll hear real moments where a no could have prevented years of resentment, and where a clear yes created growth and connection. We explore the nervous system cues that signal misalignment—tight chest, dread, and urgency—versus the grounded calm that marks a true yes. From church callings to family obligations to social invites, Jen offers short, kind scripts for declining and shows how to handle the inevitable FOMO with clarity and grace. We also cover the hidden emotional cost of overcommitment, especially during the holidays, and why planning priorities now will save your energy later.
Then we zoom into micro no’s that rebuild self-trust: skipping doomscrolling, not texting the ex, avoiding over-explaining, and refusing self-criticism that keeps old wounds open. You’ll learn how to create win-wins, choose what genuinely matters, and give your future self the gift of rest and presence. If you’ve struggled with people-pleasing after betrayal or feel pulled in five directions at once, this is a practical, compassionate guide to choosing yourself without burning bridges.
If this conversation helps, share it with a friend who needs permission to set a boundary, hit follow for more tools on healing after betrayal, and leave a review with the one boundary you’re committing to this month. Your voice helps others find the support they need.
Please follow me on instagram and facebook @happilyevenaftercoach and if you want to see what coaching is all about I offer a free 45 min. clarity call via zoom.

Thanks for listening, please like and review as well as share with your family and friends.
