"Why Did I Say Yes?"

We've talked in past episodes about how, unless there\u2019s a compelling reason to say No, say Yes--that there are opportunities for growth and learning when we have a bias for Yes. Yet we\u2019ve all ended up in a trap that was set by saying Yes when No would have been a better answer. So how do we navigate that?

Well, I'm excited to introduce you to a fantastic new book entitled\xa0The Power of Saying No: The New Science of How to Say No that Puts You in Charge of Your Life.

In this episode, you\u2019ll learn why we\u2019re tempted to say Yes when No would be a better answer. If you\u2019ve ever told yourself you\u2019re a people pleaser, Vanessa will tell you why you need to stop saying that! By the time we\u2019re done, you\u2019ll know what a stadium proposal moment is, how the spotlight effect plays into this, and learn to recognize a pattern Vanessa calls \u201cHey, would you make your famous lasagna?\u201d Even better, you\u2019re going to learn about a potentially life-transforming idea called an empowered refusal. I can\u2019t wait to share this discussion with you!
