How to Say No Without Feeling Like a B*@

The Full Frontal Living™ Podcast with Lisa Carpenter

Are you comfortable saying no to people when you want to? Or do you take on things you don’t want so that others won’t call you a b*&#@? Your energy is your #1 priority, but lacking boundaries leaks it from you like a sieve. It’s your responsibility to plug in the holes.

So in this episode, I talk you through setting clear boundaries and share some of my own stories. I also cover how to deal with your guilt and other people’s reactions when you draw that uncrossable line in the sand.
