Do you often say yes when you want to say F*ck no!?
Guest Sarah Knight wants you to stop doing that – and she has the tools and strategies to show you how. In this episode, we talk about her latest book F*ck No! How to Stop Saying Yes When You Can’t, You Shouldn’t, or You Just Don’t Want To and how it relates to the powerful pull of reciprocity.
In our society, social IOUs are a deeply entrenched concept. If you do something for me, then I’ll do something for you. But what if that “something” is “something” you don’t want to do? And what if it keeps you from doing another something that you want to do? Sarah shares how she learned to eliminate the guilt and say “No!” with confidence and conviction.
