Why does saying “no” feel so wrong… even when it’s right?

In this episode of Girls Need Love, Dr. Malesia Britt and Chanel Beckford unpack the truth about boundaries, why so many women struggle with them, and why they are essential for both healing and faithful living.

From church expectations to cultural conditioning, many women have been taught that being loving means always being available. But what if boundaries are not rebellion, but wisdom?
