Summary
When you have to say no to someone, do you feel compelled to give them a long explanation of why you are saying no, or do you find yourself defending your right to say no?
How often do you find yourself building a case to convince the people in your life that you're doing the right thing?
When you make a choice do you want everyone to approve of your decision?
If you're nodding your head, then this episode is for you. There is an important difference between convincing and providing context when it comes to communicating our boundaries and preferences.
In this episode, I'm breaking it all down for you, because the bottom line is:
You don't have to convince anyone of anything.
