What to Do When They Won't Take No For An Answer

Published: Dec. 6, 2022, noon

What do you do when you're trying to say "no" but they keep reaching out to you? At first, you don't say "no" because you want to spare their feelings, or you try to be nice and offer an explanation, you even apologize when you don't have to and in the end you get endless texts or DMs that make you uncomfortable. In this episode, we:

  1. share a time when we've tried to say no and haven't been respected
  2. discuss the difference between shooting your shot and being creepy
  3. explore the pitfall of trying to be nice
  4. ask ourselves why we tend to justify their behavior versus trusting our gut
  5. and end by talking about how to be okay with saying "no"
