E65 Every Yes Is a No to Something Else
from Lead with Spark | Authentic Leadership for Women, Executive Presence & Career Confidence · host Lynsey Mulder
I recently coached a client on boundaries, and about ten minutes into the conversation I knew it was something I needed to share with you too. She told me she has such a hard time saying no that she gives everything away, and then feels hurt when someone does not choose her. Then she said the sharper version: I do not say no, I am always looking for how I can say yes. In this episode I walk through the reframe that changes that pattern, the three steps I gave her, and the quiet moment on the call when it finally clicked for her. What you will learn How to flip a boundary from a refusal into a decision you already made Why your priorities lose to other people’s requests, and the one change that fixes it The move one number rule that keeps a new boundary from collapsing in week two How to write present tense statements your brain will actually accept A thirty second tracking habit that proves you can already do the thing you think you cannot Join the Audaciously Unapologetic Retreat October 15 to 18, 2026, CIVANA Wellness Resort and Spa, Carefree, Arizona.
