What’s the hardest word to say in the English language?

And it’s not ‘antidisestablishmentarianism’ or one of those other tongue twisters we Brits learnt in school.

It’s ‘no’.

So why is it so hard to say no? In the latest episode of ‘Life Happens*’, Michelle and Nick take a deep dive into that strange conundrum of the difficulty in saying ‘no’.

If you have ever agreed to something you really didn’t want to, this episode is for you. Why do we do it when so often it would be healthier, safer and simply better to say ‘no’?

Listen as our hosts identify some of the reasons we do this. And they also offer some strategies to help you protect yourself when you need to answer honestly and say no!

And in true ‘Life Happens*’ style, there’s a quiz that will tell you how good you are at saying no. Here’s the link - https://www.boredpanda.com/how-good-are-you-at-saying-no/
