Summary

Do you want freedom over your days and time? If you do, you’ll need to learn how to set boundaries with those around you. If you’ve been craving the ability to have ownership over these two things, then I know today’s episode will resonate with you. Today, I chatted with Donna, an entrepreneur, wife, and mother to two high school boys. She has been feeling tugged in way too many directions and overwhelmed with not having enough hours in her day to accomplish all she needs to. We took a look at how she’s saying “yes” to everyone but herself and how she could change that. We discuss a strategy that will allow her to sit down with her family to determine where she can provide the most value, which will ultimately align her to say “no” to others so she can begin to say “yes” to herself.

What’s In This Episode:

Struggling to have ownership over your day and time

Realizing that sometimes, less is more

Figuring out what is most valuable so you can determine where to say “yes”

Learning how to separate a request from the relationship

Using the sandwich strategy to say “no” with ease
