Today, we're going to talk about one of the most powerful tools in your self-care toolkit - the power of saying no. Many of us struggle with saying no, whether it's because we're afraid of hurting someone's feelings or because we feel like we have to say yes to everything

So in today's episode, we'll explore 10 ways to say no politely and respectfully, with a focus on mindfulness, optimism, and personal growth.

99. These are the 5 manifesting techniques I'm using to create my dream life

In today's episode, I am going to give you some suggestions on how we can reframe our sadness. Now all of these suggestions are under the assumption that you have already sat with the sadness, you have reconciled that you are sad, you have determined why you are sad, and you are now ready to reframe it. This absolutely does that mean that the minute that you begin to feel sadness rising that you "quote unquote" reframe it. Because now, that is avoidance and we're not doing that.

98. My journey to reframing my sadness

I watched the two part docuseries, Where Is Wendy Williams? and I am honestly a bit floored. Which is why it's now two weeks later and I am just gathering my thoughts. It was not what I expected. I was geeked to see Wendy cut up in the ways only she can. Messy, cheeky, and semi rude. But instead we got a raw, unfiltered, and highly vulnerable depiction of the media legend.

In this episode I unpack some of the lessons I learned from watching, Where Is Wendy Williams? .
