25. The Power of a Positive No | Book Discussion on Setting Boundaries, People Pleasing, and More

After a full season of lots of amazing guests, the OG duo is back on the mic this week! In this episode, we’re discussing the book The Power of a Positive No by William Ury, which piqued both of our interests as people pleasers who tend to say “yes” when we want to say “no.” We share what it taught us about setting boundaries, trusting your intuition, healthy relationships, and more! Resources mentioned: The Power of a Positive No by William Ury Mamas, don’t forget these key takeaways!: Think about when you’re saying “yes” when you want to say “no.” Who are you trying to accommodate? How can you stay true to your no in that moment? One of our responsibilities is modeling healthy communication and boundaries for our families. It’s okay to let your kids see you and your partner disagree so they can see how to do so in a respectful way. Respect your “no.” Once you’ve said “no,” don’t turn back on it, or let people bulldoze you into saying “yes.” You can be creative about holding space to still help in a different way, but stick to your “no.” Mothers are the queens of the castle, but let’s be real: it’s not all ball gowns and glass slippers. On this podcast, we’re giving you a peek Behind the Throne at the privilege and responsibility of wearing the crown. Hosted by Helen Hope Kimbrough - a proud wife and mom of two adult sons - and Charlitta Hatch, a proud wife, married to her high school sweetheart, and a proud mom of two little ones.
