Life Lessons

In this episode of Life Lessons, Gin and Sheri welcome back Mary Joye for a conversation about setting boundaries in your life.

Do you find yourself saying yes when you want to say no? Do you feel like you don’t have time for yourself and your needs because you are giving all of your time and energy to others?

Do you feel anxious and sick when you have to decline an engagement or request? You don’t have to go through life like this. You can learn to say no in a way that supports your needs without ever feeling bad about it, and you’ll feel more empowered and stronger than ever when you do. Join us to learn more.
