#122: Real Talk with Dr. Jen Fry - Founder of Coordle and TEDx Speaker

Have you ever struggled to say “no”  and then felt resentment afterward?In this powerful and unapologetically honest episode of Real Talk, I sit down with Dr. Jen Fry  sports geographer, TEDx speaker, tech founder, and author of “I Said No: The No BS Guide to Setting Boundaries, Speaking Up, and Being Unbothered by Other People’s Feelings.”Together, we dive deep into what it really means to advocate for yourself, set boundaries without guilt, and stay grounded in a world that constantly demands more of you.What You’ll Hear in This Episode:🔹 The art of saying “no” without apology and why it’s a radical act of self-respect. 🔹 How to stay unbothered while still being empathetic and kind. 🔹 Understanding “micro advocacy” the small, daily ways we practice self-advocacy. 🔹 Why people-pleasing can be dangerous and how to reclaim your power. 🔹 The difference between being nice and being kind (and why it matters). 🔹 How empathy toward our parents’ generation can help us heal our own boundaries.This episode will challenge your definition of kindness, self-worth, and independence. It’s raw. It’s real. And it’s a masterclass in emotional maturity.Wishing you a beautiful day ahead!GraceP.S. If you’ve ever felt guilty for putting yourself first this conversation is your permission slip to stop apologizing.Connect with Dr. Jen FryWebsite: https://www.jenfrytalks.comInstagram: @jenfrytalksFollow GraceSubscribe to the Podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daretoachieveWebsite: https://www.daretoachieve.com
