Episode 111 - Reclaim Your Power - Why Saying No Can Change Your Life with Dr. Tara Alexander

 

Dr. Tara Alexander shares how being assertive helps us let go of the need to feel "special" and how that pressure can keep us stuck in life and work. She explains how setting boundaries, saying no, and managing our emotions can give us more time, energy, and even lead to better financial and personal results. It’s about letting go of guilt, dealing with rejection, and realizing we don’t need to prove ourselves to live a fulfilling life.

 

Key Takeaways:

 

-       The pursuit of being “special” can lead to unhealthy comparisons and inhibit assertiveness.

 

-       It is crucial to focus on one’s own journey instead of worrying about external judgments.

 

-       Emotional regulation helps in managing feelings of rejection and guilt.
