Ep. 40 - Q&A with Leigh: How do I say 'No' without feeling bad?


Listen Later

As we're learning to set boundaries. We have to make those hard decisions- who we say yes to and who we say no to. In today's episode, we're learning how we can handle disappointing others as we're setting those boundaries and the
genuine struggle that comes with the territory of saying no.  
I delve into how commitment and fairness can lead us down a path of overextension, and why the fear of judgment often keeps us trapped in a cycle of pleasing others. We talk about the uncomfortable but essential practice of disappointing others to safeguard your own well-being and how to navigate the intricate dance of managing others' expectations while staying true to ourselves.

There are strategies to help you balance your desire to support those around you with the absolute need to honor your personal limits. By the end of our time together, you'll understand that it's not only acceptable to prioritize your needs, but it's also crucial for maintaining healthy and genuine connections.
