Are you tired of saying yes when every part of you is screaming no? In this week's episode of A Millennial Mind, I sit down with Annalie Howling — performance coach, trauma specialist, and boundaries queen — to unpack the truth about people pleasing, approval addiction, and why so many of us feel guilty putting ourselves first. We dive deep into the psychology behind saying yes, how it's linked to childhood conditioning, and what it actually takes to stop caring what everyone thinks. If you've ever been called “too nice,” struggled to set boundaries, or felt drained trying to please everyone — this one's for you. ✨ Who It's For: Chronic people pleasers who can't say no Anyone struggling with guilt, shame, or overgiving Women tired of being the “good girl” Anyone learning to protect their peace & energy

Saying NO is the turning point in recovery from codependency, narcissistic abuse, and childhood trauma. But for adult children of alcoholics and trauma survivors, it can feel terrifying—like you're choosing rejection or abandonment. In this episode, we'll explore why the first boundary is always the hardest, and why it's also the most powerful step toward freedom. You'll discover: Why your brain links "no" with danger and rejection How childhood programming makes boundaries feel unsafe Why toxic people push back when you finally walk away How saying no rewires your brain for self-love and peace If guilt, fear, or self-doubt rise up when you try to protect your peace, this episode will remind you: you're not broken—your brain is coded to expect pain. And with awareness, you can rewrite that code.

We've all been there--we say "yes" when we really want to say no, because we feel obligated or guilty or worried about someone's reaction.In this short, "tiny courage" episode, we're looking at how to start saying no and mean it, without the guilt. No explanations. No over-explaining. No trying to justify...just one powerful sentence.

Discover the surprising truth about how saying no can actually strengthen your relationship. Many believe that saying yes to everything keeps the peace, but what if saying no is what builds respect instead? In this video, we explore how boundaries and self-respect shape attraction and connection. Learn how saying no can improve communication, build trust, and create balance in your relationship. Whether you're dating, married, or navigating family dynamics, this will show you why standing firm matters.

What does it take to build a successful, heart-centered pet sitting business? Lindsey Perriello shares her path from surgical tech to pet care professional, highlighting the emotional toll of past jobs and how her values shaped the company she leads today. She discusses the challenges of setting boundaries, training staff, and keeping a personal touch with 300+ clients. Lindsey's approach is rooted in education, empathy, and honesty—qualities she believes all pet sitters should bring to their work. This conversation is full of practical insights and vulnerable moments that reflect the realities of small business ownership. Main topics: Career change to pet care Ethical client relationships Continuing education & certifications Managing staff and quality control Boundaries and pricing challenges Main takeaway: "Families are putting their trust in us, and in return, I want to do the best that I can." When someone hands you their keys and their pets, they're not just hiring a service—they're extending trust. Our job isn't simply to meet expectations; it's to honor that trust through professionalism, communication, and care that never cuts corners. Training, insurance, certifications, systems—these aren't boxes to check. They're how we prove we take that trust seriously. Whether you're solo or leading a team, remember: your clients don't see your behind-the-scenes effort, but they feel it in every visit report, every thoughtful update, every safe return home.

More employees are no longer following the traditional career script— even when it leads to a promotion, a six-figure salary, and the so-called dream job. In this episode, we follow Emma, a high-performing engineer who walks away from success to chase something more meaningful, and ask whether risking stability is the new rational choice. From burnout to startups, Matt, Leah, and Aaron unpack what it really costs—and what it might be worth—to say no to the script.

One of the common behavior patterns we HSPs can be prone to is people pleasing – or partner pleasing! Interestingly, on the surface people pleasing seems lovely, it can wreak real emotional havoc and really hurt our intimate relationship over time. Today my special guest, Todd Smith, a highly sensitive person and host of the podcast,  Stress Management for Highly Sensitive People, and I are going to talk about all about people and partner pleasing: what it looks like, what it leads to (ahem, talk about resentment! And overwhelm!), why we do it, and how it affects us and our marriages. You'll hear examples of how we both have "people pleased” in our own lives and relationships, and client stories, as well.  Then we will offer several ways to break this habit or pattern, and ultimately be TRUE to yourself, more authentic and honest in your marriage, and feel more loved for who you really are.Whether you think you may sometimes fall in to people pleasing, or not, you may be surprised at what you'll learn about yourself and other people in your life as you listen to this fun, important, laughter-filled conversation. You'll come away intrigued by how much opportunity for real loving change can come from leaving this pattern in the past, and clear on how to get started. SHOW NOTES:TODD SMITH: Find Todd's website and free Stress Test HEREListen to his podcast, Stress Management for Highly Sensitive People here.HANNAH BROOKSFREE QUIZ: How Much is High Sensitivity Impacting Your Relationship (and are you even highly sensitive)?

In this episode, I'm honored to chat with Lynn Hardy—actor, producer, and founder of The Aging Games—to explore what it really means to reinvent yourself at any age. After a thriving business career, Lynn returned to acting at 55, now starring in the film Vases and co-producing Magdalena's Land. She shares her journey of trusting her inner voice, letting go of self-doubt, and stepping into a new chapter with courage and grace.Together, we dive into what it takes to:Reclaim your power and rewrite your story after decades of “shoulds.”Build self-worth that isn't tied to age, appearance, or others' approval.Set boundaries that create freedom instead of guilt.Approach aging as an expansion of purpose, vitality, and wisdom.If you've ever felt the tug of change but questioned whether it's “too late,” this conversation will remind you—it's never too late to begin again.

Our book this month is "The Art of Saying No" by Damon Zahariades. Zahariades begins with a sobering analysis of why this simple, two-letter word is so cripplingly difficult for so many. He posits that our cultural conditioning, our deep-seated need for approval, and an often irrational fear of conflict combine to make "yes" the path of least immediate resistance. This path, however, leads invariably to the dark wood of resentment and burnout.The true value of The Art of Saying No lies in its transition from diagnosis to action. Zahariades provides a robust, immediately deployable toolkit of refusal strategies. He understands that one cannot simply begin shouting "NO!" at one's colleagues and loved ones. It requires finesse, a degree of social judo that redirects the requestor's energy without causing undue damage to the relationship.He advocates for the concept of the "Guilt-Free No," a refusal delivered with kindness and clarity, often accompanied by a brief, non-negotiable explanation. The key, he correctly identifies, is to separate the person from the request. You are not rejecting your friend; you are rejecting the additional commitment that robs you of your time. -------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Taupo's newly elected mayor has told local residents that he might have to skip art gallery openings, cocktail parties and marae visits in his community, not because he isn't interested, but because of his significant hearing loss The former rescue helicopter pilot lost much of his hearing after a life-threatening bout of septicemia more than two decades ago, that means it is difficult for him to hear in places where there is background noise. Taupo Mayor John Funnell joins Jesse now.

Saying no can bring up guilt, fear, or resistance, especially if you're used to people-pleasing. This episode supports you in honoring your boundaries and finding more comfort and clarity in the discomfort of “no.”

Saying yes often looks like saying no. “Drop your nets. Leave your boats. Come and follow me.” - Jesus  Why does following Jesus mean leaving certain things behind? Like any other decision, following Jesus involves a cutting off. It is, as Jesus says, a narrow path (Matt 7:13-14). To truly say yes to Jesus, we also have to give other people and things a no. This is uncomfortable and requires trust in Jesus that there is much kindness, much wisdom, and much power in the narrow way.Come this Sunday to learn more about the strange gift of no.- Series Description - In our new series, So, You Want to Be A Christian?, we'll cover the beginning steps of following Jesus. At times, these are the steps we're begging self-proclaimed Christians in the public arena to follow. Other times, these are our steps as we grow in discipleship for the first time or as we're humbled by God to focus on the basics once again. Either way, we need to know how to grow in faith and how to respond to Jesus' words, “Follow me.”  Whether this journey of following Jesus is brand new for us or whether we've been following Jesus for decades, each day is another chance to respond to his call for an upside-down kind of life reflective of His otherworldly Kingdom.

The holiday season is here, and with it comes an avalanche of invitations, requests, and expectations. Parties, bake sales, family gatherings, end-of-year deadlines—it's the season of “yes.” And before I know it, my energy tank starts flashing empty. In this final episode of Put Down the Panic: A Kinder Guide to Stress, I wanted to end on one of the most important themes of the entire series: boundaries—and how to say no kindly, clearly, and without guilt. If the word no gets caught in your throat or you find yourself agreeing to things you never actually wanted to do, you're not alone. I've been there too. Saying no can feel like disappointing people or breaking some invisible rule about being “nice.” But I've learned that boundaries aren't about rejection—they're about clarity. They're not a way of shutting people out; they're a way of keeping myself grounded and connected. In this episode, I share why it's so hard to say no, what our early attachment patterns have to do with it, and how we can begin to change that story. Many of us—especially women —were conditioned to be accommodating, pleasing, and available. But constantly saying yes doesn't make us generous; it makes us exhausted. I'll walk you through a few of my favorite tools and gentle language swaps to make “no” feel a little lighter, including: “Thank you for thinking of me, but I can't commit right now.” “I don't have the capacity, but here's another option.” “No, thank you.” (Yes, that's a full sentence!) I also talk about one of my favorite practices: treating boundaries as an act of self-partnership. I imagine my past and future self as teammates. The version of me from three days ago who blocked out time on the calendar, made lunch plans at home, or said no to something that would've drained me—she was taking care of me. And the me right now? I'm doing the same for the future version who'll thank me later. Boundaries aren't punishment; they're protection. And when I honor my energy first, I can show up more fully for the things and people that truly matter. If you've ever felt the pressure to do it all, to say yes to every request, or to overexplain your “no,” I hope this episode feels like permission to breathe again. Saying no with kindness and calm is one of the most loving things we can do—for ourselves and for everyone around us.

What if your body held the blueprint for abundance?In this conversation with Anna Finck, we explore the inner work of wealth—how interoception, nervous system regulation, and embodied awareness expand your capacity to both receive and sustain prosperity. Together, we unpack the shift from survival to expansion, the courage it takes to leave certainty behind, and why curiosity is often the first step toward true abundance.If you've ever felt like your mind wants wealth but your body still lives in survival mode, this episode offers the bridge between the two.✨ You'll learn:How interoception connects health, wealth, and expansionWhy safety in your body precedes sustainable successThe difference between chasing abundance and allowing itHow following curiosity can become your most abundant strategyAnna (Ah-nah) Finck (Fee-nck) is a Wellness Architect and Lifestyle Designer who is pioneering an innovative path in the wellness space. She has created a body of work called Embodied Wellness designed to transform the body, mind, and soul. Embodied Wellness is both science and spirituality, art and alchemy. In essence, it is where wellness and personal growth collide. Anna supports clients through a transformational embodiment and empowerment journey, one that she lived herself. After stepping away from medical school due to personal and family health crises, Anna committed herself to an unconventional, long-term and complex study of wellness. She healed her own hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, and reproductive health conditions naturally, despite the odds and lack of evidence. Anna coined the term “Pre-Conception Era” to describe a sacred, often-overlooked phase of a woman's life: the time before conception, when she prepares physically, energetically mentally, emotionally, and spiritually to become the woman—and mother—she's designed to be. Anna is devoted to supporting women in reconnecting to their bodies, reclaiming their health, remembering their power, and realizing their potential.Connect with Anna:https://www.instagram.com/iamannafinckhttps://www.facebook.com/iamannafinckhttps://www.annafinck.com✨ Sacred Boundaries: Scripts for Saying No with Love ✨If you've ever felt the pressure to say “yes” when your whole body was begging you to say “no,” you're not alone.

Delanie Fischer chats with John Wang, author of Big Asian Energy, about confidence, culture, and the power of conversation. They unpack how cultural conditioning, fear, and the desire to be "good enough” shape identity and self-worth.
