February 10, 2021 3: How To Say No (Without Feeling Guilty)
There are so many situations in life where we have the option to embrace opportunities or reject them, to say yes to something where we give a little (or a lot) of ourselves, or to say no, for whatever the reason. Setting boundaries is a crucial key to healthy interpersonal relationships -- and emotional health. But sometimes it’s so hard. Join us as we get to the root of these issues, and how they specifically impact the lives of frum women.
In today’s episode we’ll be discussing:
    -Why it’s so hard to say no
   -The importance of setting boundaries
   -Setting boundaries in contributing to the community, with special guest Gill Wolovitz, LSW (MA)
   -Setting boundaries in interpersonal relationships, with psychologist and author, Sarah Chana Radcliffe
   -Practical takeaways to set boundaries protecting the things we value most
