Have you ever said yes while already knowing you didn’t have the energy to follow through?
In this episode, I share how I accepted a volunteer leadership role at my church while juggling work, kids, and a difficult home life. I knew I didn’t want to take it on, but I worried about what people would think if I declined—especially in a community where I already struggled to feel like I belonged.
We’re talking about people-pleasing, perfectionism, and the pressure to be the woman everyone can count on. You’ll hear practical ways to pause before committing, consider the full cost of a yes, and communicate your limits without explaining every private detail of your life.
One question to take with you: “If I knew these people would still value me after I said no, would I say yes?”
