Today Blair Castro and Thomas Jenkins are talking about discerning authenticity, knowing your worth, and the power of saying NO. 

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is simply say no. No to people, projects, or situations that don’t serve you. You have to be able to walk away from anything that drains your time and energy, especially when you know it’s not going to lead anywhere productive.

Be cautious, because there are always people in the community who aren’t what they say they are. Do your research. Meet people face to face. Judge people by their actions and how they treat you.

Most of all, know your worth! Especially here, where some people will try to take advantage of good hearts or vulnerable moments. Protect your peace, stand firm in who you are, and don’t let anyone make you forget your value.
