Why does saying “no” feel like you’re doing something wrong—even when you know it’s what’s best for you?

If you've ever said yes just to avoid disappointing someone—or felt guilty for setting boundaries—this episode is your reminder that self-worth starts with self-respect.

In this powerful conversation, psychologist Dawn Petgrave Smith returns to help us understand:

  • Why do so many people struggle to say "no" without guilt?
  • How does setting boundaries strengthen self-worth?
  • What should someone do if people push back against their boundaries... and much more.

Whether you’re a parent, partner, employee, or leader—your peace matters too.
And guess what? Saying no doesn’t make you less kind. It makes you more honest.

Self-Worth Challenge: This week, say no to one thing that drains your energy, and yes to something that nourishes you. No guilt. No apology.
