How do you feel as you're thinking about it before you create it? How do you feel about it while you're writing down all these appointments?'" (12:36) "Learning how to say no is setting up boundaries. So when you set up your protection of your time, that for me is inputting blocks on your calendar of self-care, like nobody can schedule during that time. If somebody clicks on your Calendly link, it will block it out and say that it's not available. You have to set those things up."
