You're listening to The Girl Next Door Podcast. I'm Erica and I'm Kelsey. We're two former

next door neighbors and good friends who love a good chat and a good laugh. We're inviting you to

come on in, have a drink, and stay a while. Hey friend. Today's episode is truly one of those things

that I feel so passionately about that I have to

like rein myself in. I feel so strongly about getting good at this. And that is saying and

accepting the word no. It's very specific. It's beyond just boundaries. It's beyond personal

policies we've talked about. It's how do I literally say no to that thing?

I think this is something that makes so many people feel uncomfortable and can be a real struggle to say no and really impacts like quality of life for a lot of people.

So I want to help us. We're going to we're going to help you. I think we're both good at this, actually. And so we need to

help you say no and mean it without guilt. Here we go. Love it. What else, before we get into that,

I have lots to say. I'm very excited. What else is going on in the neighborhood for you these days?

Okay. I want to share that Chris has gotten a Fitbit and I am really enjoying it.

So I have been wearing a Fitbit for a couple of years and I just, I really like that health

data.

I love the sleep data.

I don't mind sleeping with it and I find that just really fascinating.

And I've been mentioning to Chris for quite a while.

Like, I think you would like this.

I think you'd find the sleep data really interesting because he doesn't always get

great sleep.

So anyway, he finally got one.

And it has just been so fun.
