Saying no is one of the most courageous things you can do when you’re done settling for a life that doesn't fit.
This episode is a real and honest look at what it takes to stop overcommitting and start making choices that actually feel right. Nesha Pai opens up about her own turning point, when she realized that saying yes to everything was costing her the very life she wanted to build. What happens when your calendar looks full but your soul feels empty? How do you tell the difference between something that’s safe and something that’s aligned?
Through personal stories and thoughtful questions, Nesha invites you to consider what you’ve been holding onto out of habit, fear, or obligation, and what could open up if you made space for something better. She reminds us that courageous decisions often start with a single word: no.
