Do you feel like you’re spreading yourself too thin? Are you feeling exhausted and depleted because you’re constantly saying yes, even when you don’t want to?

You’re not alone. Women everywhere, including in the Forty Thrive community, share how fatigued, stressed out and overworked they often feel. 

But what if we decided -- together -- for this month of November only, to say NO when we’re asked to add another thing to our never-ending to-do list?

In this week’s episode, Jackie talks with Christine Sarno, a business coach, advertising and sales powerhouse and Jackie’s BFF. Together they throw down the "NO-vember Challenge," a 30-day challenge to say NO to the things that don't serve you, your goals and your inner peace.

In this episode, Jackie and Christine discuss:

[5:05] Why women are often people pleasers

[8:30] Christine’s message to women feeling victimized by their circumstances

[9:06] Discussion on Diann Wingert's insight into the menopausal brain

[11:08] Christine’s parent influence

[12:00] Christine talks about being her mom’s advocate 

[13:35] What can you say “NO to this month?

[16:20] We don’t always have to say yes to everything
