    In this episode, we dive into the power of saying “no” and why it's one of the most valuable skills you can develop. Too often, we feel pressured to say “yes” to everything—opportunities, favors, invitations—only to find ourselves overwhelmed and stretched too thin. But here's the truth: saying no isn't selfish or negative. In fact, sometimes saying “yes” is actually worse than saying “no.”We'll explore how protecting your time and energy allows you to focus on what truly matters, how setting boundaries leads to better opportunities, and why saying no is a form of self-respect. If you've ever struggled with people-pleasing or felt guilty for turning things down, this episode is for you.
