Ever said “no” and then… oops, turned it into a full-blown TED Talk complete with childhood backstory and reasons nobody asked for? 🙋‍♀️ Been there. Boundaries are tough when you’re a people-pleaser (or just allergic to conflict), but guess what—saying no doesn’t have to feel mean, dramatic, or guilt-ridden. In this episode, we’re breaking down why moms over-explain, how to cut the rambling, and the secret to setting boundaries without the guilt trip. Plus—we’re giving you practical tools and phrases that will keep your peace, your sanity, and your relationships intact. Because your “no” should be clear, confident, and about two minutes shorter.
