Reclaim control of your time, energy, and confidence by mastering the art of boundary setting.

When was the last time you said “no” and didn’t feel guilty?  Do you know deep in your soul that “no” is a full sentence?

Most of my life prior to hiring a coach was spent explaining myself to others and always saying yes. I am 90% better at saying no but it has taken lots of awareness, introspection, and practice. I no longer feel guilty, I don’t feel the need to explain myself, and I don’t say yes without thinking it through.

What are the byproducts of that change in my life? Less bitterness, far less overwhelm, and more time to donate to causes and actions I want to spend time doing.

In today’s conversation I will provide concrete steps to handle pressure, say “no”, and do it in a way that strengthens your mental well-being and confidence.

Women are struggling with blurred boundaries, burnout, and overcommitment in 2025 in their workplaces and at home.

Have you ever considered how your confidence is compromised when you say yes when you really want to say no?

You can learn to say "no" without burning bridges or feeling guilty! 

Do you need a comprehensive tool to help you organize, prioritize, and manage your mindset around your audacious goals? If you have tried over and over and haven't reached your goal this workbook will walk through each step you need to take.

How many negative thoughts do you have about YOU per day? Studies suggest most of us are walking around having 6000 to 60,000 thoughts a day with a whopping 80% of those being negative. The sad part is those thoughts are guiding our behavior and how we show up to work, for our spouse, for our kids, and for ourselves. 

What would happen if you changed just a few of your negative thought patterns and changed the self-talk you use with yourself each day?

This episode will give you a few ideas for how to turn your thoughts into more positive, supportive, and confidence building thoughts. 

If you currently find yourself feeling frustrated, disappointed, or angry much of the time, maybe it's time for a thought pattern refresh. Stop letting your thoughts guide you through the day laying blame, feeling shame, or projecting negativity. 

Find more joy, feel more empowered, and be more aware of how your thoughts can help you be more self-assured, resilient, and confident. 

Imagine having deeper connections, feeling less anxiety and overwhelm, gaining clarity, and fully trusting yourself.

Picture yourself not just surviving, but truly thriving.

Is it possible to be 100 percent certain when you make a hard decision? Maybe? Yes.  No.  It depends. Not really.

All of these are the correct answer.

What makes you certain that a choice or a decision you make is the correct one?

Certainty is a construct that is dependent on knowing all variables. This is rare. 

There are so many considerations to what makes a decision the right one or the wrong one. My big challenge with making decisions is I want to spend so much time researching and waying out all the options, it can keep me from taking action. Action gives you quicker answers and more information. Then you can pivot and change your direction. 

We want comfort, guarantee, and wisdom at all turning points but that is nearly impossible. 

Imagine having deeper connections, feeling less anxiety and overwhelm, gaining clarity, and fully trusting yourself.

Picture yourself not just surviving, but truly thriving.

Have you ever been really scared to do something and once you did it you felt empowered and eager to do it again?

When we purposely step outside our comfort zone we get stronger and more confident almost every time. Why is this? When we decide we can handle whatever comes our way we become unstoppable. 

Get comfortable being uncomfortable. Figure out how you handle being uncomfortable and learn to manage your mind and your actions around your response to it. The more you work on this part of your life, the faster you will begin changing your self-esteem and build the best you possible. 

Yes, you must be willing to set goals, do the work to achieve them, and do whatever it takes. However, if you are not practiced at being uncomfortable you won't be willing to stretch yourself to higher stakes. If you maintain comfort all the time, you will get comfortable results. 

Want the BIG, results. Be willing to do the uncomfortable thing. Make the uncomfortable ask. Make the uncomfortable pitch. Be the uncomfortable challenger. Be the first to pave a path. 

Your key to confidence is learning, practicing, and managing yourself around comfort! 

Go out this week and do one or two things you are not comfortable doing. How do you feel? How did your body react? What is your brain saying to you?

What did you learn from the experience? You can learn until you try. You won't try if you aren't willing to face your fear and do it anyway! Go be uncomfortable!

Imagine having deeper connections, feeling less anxiety and overwhelm, gaining clarity, and fully trusting yourself.

Picture yourself not just surviving, but truly thriving.
