Behind the Scenes: A Coaching Call on Guilt and Saying No

from The Art of Expansion · host Emily Cheney

Do you ever feel guilty when you say no? Or feel responsible for how someone else reacts when you set a boundary? If so, this episode is for you. In this behind-the-scenes coaching call, I work with one of my clients as she navigates guilt, people-pleasing, and the pressure to take care of everyone’s emotions except her own. Together, we walk through a real situation where she felt guilty for saying no, and untangle what that guilt actually meant. You’ll hear us explore how to take responsibility for your emotions and desires, and let go of the false belief that you can control other people's emotions.  If you enjoyed this conversation, I want to invite you to sign up for the 12 Days of Coaching! Coming the first 2 weeks of December 2025, there will be daily opportunities to sign up for a coaching session on many different topics, all for FREE.  This is my gift to you.
