Why do we feel so bad when we say no to people? Even to complete strangers who request our time, advice or even money out of the blue?
What’s going on there? What is the deeper psychology of our inability to comfortably and shamelessly just say no? Even to people and things that sound genuinely interesting, but are not landing at a moment when we have the capacity to say yes?
This dilemma shows up at work all the time, and also in every other part of life and personal relationships. We worry about disappointing others, missing out on something better, or even jeopardizing work relationships. But what if reclaiming the lost art of "no" opened up space for what matters most?
If you struggle to decline without guilt, tune in for permission to reframe "no" as an act of self-care.
In today’s episode we’re digging into:
What are some of the reasons people feel compelled to perpetually say yes and have difficulty saying no?
What motivations compel chronic people-pleasers to overcommit?
How can systems eliminate the need for repeated no's?
What decision filters discern a clear yes from an energy-draining maybe?
