In this clarity moment, we unpack one of the hardest parts of growing up: learning how to say no — especially to people you care about.
John opens up about what happened when he said yes to everything… and how burnout, resentment, and disconnection followed.
We talk about setting boundaries without burning bridges, how your friendships might evolve in your 20s and 30s, and why saying no isn’t selfish — it’s necessary.
