Episode 194: The Power of No: Reclaim Your Time, Energy and Focus

In this episode...

Are you afraid to say no, for fear of being “selfish” or letting someone down? Do you find that you frequently feel “on edge”, resentful, overwhelmed or depleted?

In this episode of The Nancy Levin Show, I’m diving into the power of saying No. More specifically, how saying No is a gift.  Not just to yourself.  But to those around you. I explore how saying No actually improves relationships with family, friends, colleagues and your spouse or partner.

If you’re a lifelong overachiever and people pleaser whose career and relationships have been tainted with resentment, join me as we explore the transformative power of No. And how choosing yourself leads to deeper bond and happiness with those around you.

What We Discuss & Highlights From Episode 194:

  • Why saying No is a gift and leads to stronger, more deeply fulfilling relationships.
  • How saying yes out of obligation, isn’t an act of generosity…but an act of fear. 
  • The idea that every Yes is also a No to something else.
  • The root causes of people pleasing and steps to begin reversing life long patterns of conflict avoidance and over committing.
  • Why high achievers are especially prone to depletion and unhappiness, despite striving to do the “right thing”.
