In this episode of the Self-Care Series, we're talking about one of the most powerful self-care tools you can use: the word no. If you constantly find yourself saying yes out of guilt, people-pleasing, or habit—even when you're stretched thin—this conversation is for you. We explore why setting boundaries is essential for your wellbeing, how to start saying no without over-explaining or feeling bad, and what it really means to put yourself first in a world that often praises self-sacrifice. It’s time to release the guilt and step into a version of you that honours her own needs, unapologetically.
