Summary

Sisters, why do we feel so guilty for saying NO? 😩 It’s time to unlearn people-pleasing and start setting boundaries that protect our peace—without feeling bad about it. In this episode, we break down why women struggle to enforce limits, how to communicate them clearly, and why saying ‘no’ isn’t being difficult—it’s self-respect.
