Boundaries Are Cute… But What If You Said Yes Instead?

from Small Talk with Sheila · host Sheila Kazan

You know how everyone right now is talking about boundaries? Say no. Protect your peace. Don’t overextend. And listen… I love a boundary. But I have a theory. I think some of us are saying no a little too fast… and missing the very things that could actually change our lives.Because when I look back, the moments that shaped me most didn’t come from perfect plans. They came from saying yes. Like Radio Disney. Not my forever, not even “the plan,” but it opened doors I didn’t even know existed. All it took was a gut feeling, a little delusion, and honestly, a little Jim Carrey energy from "Yes, Man!"In this episode, we’re flipping the script. Because saying yes doesn’t mean forever. It just means you’re open to what could happen. And that… is how you start rom-coming your work life.Here’s the truth I want you to walk away with: not everything you say yes to will be “the thing,” but it might lead you to it. You don’t need a perfect plan. You need momentum.We talk: Why “say no” culture might be holding you back The power of temporary yeses How one yes can completely change your path Now I want to hear from you…What are you going to say yes to this week?Comment on YouTube, DM me, or email me at [email protected] if you know someone who needs this… send it to them.Watch the romcom live:Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/smalltalkwith_sheila⁠ YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@smalltalkwithsheila⁠TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@smalltalkwithsheila⁠End Credits “rolling like a romcom”Production and audience development by Pod.VisionCreated, written, and hosted by Sheila KazanExecutive Producer of Her Own Life: Also Sheila KazanEmotional Support and Occasional Reality Check: Hezi (my husband)Tiny but Mighty Energy: Love (my pup)No long-term commitments were required in the making of this episode.
