We're heading into planning season—and if you're anything like the nonprofit leaders I work with, your to-do list is already growing. But here's a question we don't ask enough: “How will this plan help us say no?” In this episode, I dig into why most strategic plans are more like overwhelming wish lists, and how to flip the script by building a plan that's not just visionary, but protective. I'll walk you through the cost of “yes-by-default” planning, and share the three filters I use with clients to create focused, capacity-aware strategies that actually get implemented. If you're feeling stretched thin or unsure what not to do next year, this one's for you.In this episode, you'll learn:Why “yes” is costing you more than you think—and how to identify itThe real reason most strategic plans collapse by Q2Three powerful filters to build a plan that guards your team, time, and missionKey takeaways:Every yes costs something—time, energy, and focus. If your plan doesn't help you say no, it's not protecting your mission.Strategic plans fail not because of lack of ambition, but because of lack of filtration. You need sharper priorities, not longer lists.Using filters like alignment, capacity, and opportunity cost helps transform bloated planning into strategic clarity.The 3-Step Filter for a Focused, “No-Powered” PlanUse these three questions to evaluate every new initiative before it enters your 2026 plan:Strategic Alignment -- Ask: Does this move us measurably closer to our 1–2 core goals?Team Capacity -- Ask: Do we realistically have the time, energy, and talent to do this well?Opportunity Cost -- Ask: If we say yes to this, what are we delaying or derailing?Want to work together?

This week on Girls Night, we're asking one of the biggest — and maybe most important — questions we can ask ourselves: Do you like your life? And even more — do you believe you're allowed to? So many of us have followed all the rules, checked all the boxes, and built the kind of life we thought we were supposed to want — only to look around and wonder why it doesn't feel like home. In this episode, we're slowing down, taking inventory, and learning how to remodel the parts of our lives that no longer fit. We'll walk room-by-room through your “life house” — your relationships, your body, your work, your faith, your family, your joy — and ask some simple but powerful questions:

Are you interested in setting better boundaries? Have you been struggling with people-pleasing? In this episode, we talk about how we can all live a life we love. Today, I talk with Susie Pettit. Susie has been helping women live lives they love for over 10 years. She is the host of the podcast Love Your Life Show and owner of the Wellness Company Strength: Mind & Body, LLC. She teaches firsthand about setting healthy boundaries, beating your inner critic, conscious parenting, and how to use mindfulness-based tools to beat overwhelm and anxiety. This is a powerful episode for anyone who struggles with what other people want from them. Questions I asked: How did you get started on this journey? How did you notice your struggles with people-pleasing and leave it behind? Why do we need to understand our reasoning for our co-dependency and other actions? How do our expectations go into co-dependency and boundaries? Why is it important to just start where you are? What are the roots of co-dependency? What's the name of your podcast? How do we avoid caring what other people think? Why is it so important to detach from our thoughts? How can we stop judging ourselves? Why do we benefit from just saying no? Tell everyone where they can find you online, and your Warrior group? Topics Discussed: People Pleasing. Boundary Setting. Loving Life. Co-Dependency. External validation. Self-Esteem. Healing from Trauma. Interdependency Your inner critic. Quotes from the show: “Just because we're thinking it, doesn't mean it's true.” @SusieBarolo @SisterhoodSweat “Breaking the habit of people-pleasing starts with little steps.” @SusieBarolo @SisterhoodSweat “I'm going to take my needs as a priority.” @SusieBarolo @SisterhoodSweat “We need to ask for what we want.” @SusieBarolo @SisterhoodSweat “When you're struggling, you need to lead on your support community.” @SusieBarolo @SisterhoodSweat How you can stay in touch with Susie P: The Love Your Life Show Podcast Her Super Popular Midlife Warrior Membership & Book Club Susie's Instagram SMBwell Website Warrior Woman Facebook Group Work with Susie Happiness Habits Program Parenting Teens Program SMBwell on Facebook How you can stay in touch with Linda: Website Facebook Twitter Instagram Pinterest YouTube SoundCloud "Proud Sponsors of the Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T" Essential Formulas
Imagine this is your last breath on earth? Would it change what you are doing right now? Would it change how you approach what you are doing right now?Today I want to introduce you to Carles, a human that I think has found what it is to know joy in every day, someone who on a bit of a mission if you will to connect and learn from whatever is different in this world, and someone that I believe is using dating apps in the only way I would ever consider using them myselfWe chat about what it means to invest in your health and growth, how you are your greatest asset and how nothing you pour into in this life will matter more, how loss in all its sadness must point us towards the reality that we are still here with a life to live and purpose to fulfill He shares what its like to focus over the last 6 months and shift his thinking in ways that have allowed him to be intentionally more present, how the noise of overthinking can often get in the way of truly living the life we have, and how everything other than death is not a real problem cause we get to go onWe chat about what it means for money to be a consequence of our work and not the goal. He shares what it means to find peace with what claims our attention and also demands nothing all at once, and how we get to impact the world by paying attention to who is in front of us Carles is one that I have had the pleasure of connecting with over the years, but up until this weekend, I hadn't had a chance to truly sit down with him, I believe we can know someones character within minutes, but I believe it is not just based on our own ability to read someone, but also their ability and willingness to be known. Carles is one that I admire, respect, have learned from, and who truly allows me to be present when spending time with himSo tune in today and meet Carles, I promise you will walk away from this conversation with a perspective both on yourself and connection that will allow you to know joy and another human in a deeper wayAnd to you Carles thank you, thank you for the way you are in conversation, on a walk, or even in a crowd, you are one that holds space well and allowed me the honor of knowing I was not competing for your attention when I spoke, and for allowing me the same in return as you have shared parts of your life. You are an incredible soul that I am truly grateful to call a friend may you continue to say no to anything that does not deserve a yes in your life

Most of us have a hard time saying no. We want to help, keep others happy, or avoid disappointing people—but the result is often exhaustion, resentment, and feeling stretched too thin. So how do you know when it's right to say yes and when it's time to say no? In this message, Pastor Sean Sears shows how even Jesus said no at times—and how learning to do the same can bring peace and protect your best yes. Because every yes is also a no to something else.
You pride yourself on being reliable, capable, and indispensable. But what if the very trait that built your career is now sabotaging your success?For the next few episodes, I will be talking with you about taking a deeper dive in understanding burnout from a perspective I personally don't hear enough of: the psychosocial drivers of burnout – what we as individuals bring to it, how social conditioning perpetuates it, and how organizational culture impacts it – and what we can do about it. In this episode, we're talking about the yes addiction - why saying no feels impossible for high achievers, and what it's actually costing you. ---The Anti-Burnout Leadership Lab details can be found at https://gotowerscope.com/2025fellowshipRegister at https://luma.com/owie0t8gYouTube video of this episode: https://youtu.be/lAuue-FNf-c

A new survey from the Pew Research Center explores how Christians view faith and politics after the 2024 election. Most Americans said they do not believe God plays a role in U.S. elections. Just 4% said God chose President Donald Trump for his policies, while 32% said his election was part of God's plan. Nearly half — 49% — said God does not get involved in elections, and 14% said they do not believe in God. Eighty percent of Christians said good Christians can disagree with Trump, while only 7% said supporting him is essential. The survey also found that most Americans say religion shapes how they vote very little or not at all.

Alan reflects on his 27 years in dentistry, revealing how his past struggles with addiction and a conservative approach to treatment planning have impacted his practice. He admits he often defaults to a "watch-and-wait" approach in gray-area cases, feeling a need to save patients money or fearing they will say no to treatment. He worries this may lead to more complex and expensive procedures down the road, benefiting neither the patient nor his business. Alan challenges himself to be more assertive in presenting a full range of treatment options, allowing patients to make their own decisions. He believes this shift is crucial for both his professional growth and the long-term well-being of his patients.

What do you do when your parents say “no” to the person you love?
Hey there! It's Michael here — and welcome back to another Happy English Sunday Speak. Every Sunday, I'll be here with a quick one-point tip to help you speak English more naturally. Now, sometimes in English we need to say “no,” but just saying no can sound too direct or even a little rude. So let's look at some casual, yet polite, natural ways to say no.If someone invites you to do something and you don't want to, you can say:“I'll pass.” Like, Want to come out for karaoke tonight? → Thanks, I'll pass.“Not really my thing.” Like, do you want to go bouldering? → Nah, That's not really my thing.And one that I like to use all the time is “It's not my cup of tea.” Like, Everyone's watching that new horror movie, but scary films are not my cup of tea.So, I'll pass, It's not really my thing, and It's not my cult of tea. When you need to refuse or decline something, these all sound softer, more polite, and very natural. So how about you? What's something that's Not your cup of tea?

How have screens and social media altered the brains of children? What is the long-term impact on their happiness and ability to be prosperous, fulfilled adults later on?“Looking at the brain science, we really have to treat screens more in the category of a highly addictive drug like digital fentanyl than sugar,” argues Clare Morell, a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and author of “The Tech Exit: A Practical Guide to Freeing Kids and Teens from Smartphones.”“These companies are in a race to the bottom. They're all in a race to get the youngest users. The incentives are not in place for them to put child safety first,” she says.While many apps advertise parental controls, the reality is there are far more hidden ways children can access addictive, dangerous, or pornographic content than parents may think, Morell says.“I just wanted to push back against this premise that the smartphone is an inevitable part of childhood. It doesn't need to be.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Trump chronicler Michael Wolff joins the Beast's Joanna Coles to go inside the rage-filled White House where Trump is reacting to blows from judges—including to his tariffs. They explore what happens when judges say no to Trump. And they examine how tariffs have become a unilateral tool of punishment and power, why the courts are pushing back, and how Trump reacts with rage when confronted by these limits. From attempts to deploy the National Guard in Los Angeles to efforts to expand emergency powers, this episode examines what it looks like when one President attempts to circumvent a republic's rules and insists that no one can oppose him. At stake are the checks and balances of American democracy and the question of whether the system can withstand Trump's defiance. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
