Saying “yes” often feels like the right thing to do—being a team player, stepping up, helping out. But automatic yeses can cost us time, focus, and energy. In this episode, Rachel and Clair explore better ways to say yes (and no) using three practices: curiosity, connection, and prioritization lenses.

Together we talk about how to pause before responding, how to support others without overloading yourself, and how to align your yeses with what truly matters.

This week’s takeaway: you don’t have to choose between clarity and connection—say yes wisely, not reflexively.
