Saying yes to everything might look generous on the outside but it’s often fear, not confidence, calling the shots.
In this episode, Corinne Morahan talks about what really drives our constant “yes-es,” and why it leaves so many of us drained, overbooked, and quietly resentful. Are you saying yes because you want to… or because you’re afraid of what it means to say no?
Corinne shares the moment that changed everything for her: realizing that jumping in too quickly wasn’t helping. It was keeping others from stepping up and keeping her stuck in a cycle of overcommitment. From there, she explains what it actually looks like to say yes with intention.
Corinne breaks down how to tell the difference between an aligned yes and a knee-jerk one, and how to build a calendar that reflects what matters most. You’ll hear her take on pre-deciding your boundaries, creating white space on purpose, and checking in with your future self before you commit.
If your week is packed with things you agreed to out of guilt or habit, this episode will help you shift course. Where are you leaving yourself out of the equation, and what would it take to stop?
