| 0:16.0 | Welcome to Seven Good Minutes. I'm Clyde Lee Dennis. Thanks for joining me for what I believe will be seven of the most enriching minutes of your day. In today's episode of Seven Good Minutes, we talk about mastering the art of saying no. Protect your well-being with boundaries. Enjoy. There's a moment that |
| 0:40.1 | many of us know all too well. Someone asks you to do something. And even though every fiber of your |
| 0:45.6 | being wants to say no, you hear yourself saying yes. Maybe it's taking on another project when you're |
