“No!” Such a simple word, but so incredibly difficult to say sometimes! Not only do we not want to disappoint people, but we also don’t want to miss out! But if we can’t say no, we can’t stick to our values and ideas. We can find ourselves exhausted, frustrated, and missing out on the things we actually want to be doing! There are several strategies that can help as we work out our “No” muscles, but they require practice. Join Becky and Ashleyne as they talk through the dos and don’ts of saying no.

Family can be the most complicated relational situation in our lives - whether you have a good relationship with your family members or terrible one, we all have to figure out how to create healthy boundaries within our family. But how do we do that without hurting anyone’s feelings or disappointing the people we care about? Like many things, it comes down to expectations, communication, and self-knowledge…none of which are easy tasks! Join Becky and Ashleyne as they talk about the difficulty and reward of setting boundaries with your family.

There are so many different ways to define leadership, but one key way is to think of it as having influence. The reality is that you don’t have to have a title or position of power to have influence! We follow those we trust, regardless of their title. But trust can be difficult to build. Becky and Ashleyne dive into the difference between ascribed leadership and earned leadership, the difficulties of listening more than speaking, and how to utilize your influence regardless of your title or role.

We all struggle sometimes with what to say and what not to say - every single one of us has said something that accidentally offended or even hurt someone. It’s hard to avoid those landmines! However, there are a few things you can do to keep from placing your foot squarely in your mouth quite so often. And SPOILER - one of those things is to acknowledge when you feel awkward! Join Becky and Ashleyne as they talk through the basics of what not to say.

Accepting feedback can be really difficult - it’s so easy to respond defensively and explain our own reasoning. But if we want to grow and change, we have to be able to hear, understand, and implement helpful feedback. Join Becky and Ashleyne as they talk through what it means to be coachable and how it can improve your career and your relationships!

You have something super important to say, and you spend time thinking through exactly what words to use to say it best. But then when you say it, it comes across all wrong! What happened? Well, it turns out that how you say what you say matters a whole lot. Join Becky and Ashleyne as they talk about tone of voice, body language, and all the other ways we communicate without words. If you want people to remember what you say and hear what you mean, this episode is for you!

There’s so much to talk about surrounding boundaries - where to start?! We all have limits, and recognizing those limits helps us live healthy and valuable lives. In this episode, Becky and Ashleyne dive into how to know if you have good boundaries, tips to work on your boundaries, and why boundaries even matter!

We can’t see ourselves from the outside, so the only way we know how we come across is from feedback! But feedback can be tricky, and painful! There truly is an art to both giving and receiving feedback, whether it’s in a work setting or just in life in general. Learn how to ask for and offer helpful feedback, as well as what not to do if you want someone to hear what you have to say!
