power of no

Have you ever felt the crushing weight of always saying "yes"? Are you stretched thin, stressed out, and struggling to balance an overwhelming load of responsibilities? You're not alone. Together, let's explore the power of saying "no", a critical tool in navigating our many obligations and societal expectations. We'll dive into the fears and cultural norms that often discourage us, particularly women, from asserting our need to decline.

The Power of NO, let’s all embrace it more. The Non-Corporate Girls are Back in the Break Room to discuss how empowering it is to reclaim our time and get intentional on how we choose to exert our energy and with whom. Ayanna (@the_aya_brand), Carla (@creneemonae) and Delaila (@missdelailac) take you back to some of the exact moments when saying NO was transformational. Still a work in progress they each have become more comfortable with turning down projects, people and places that are no longer serving. We challenge you all to do the same. Take a listen to this episode and reflect back to when standing firm in your no’s became easier for you. 

A little different this episode our #ObsessedWith are things pertaining to our self healing journeys. Ayanna’s is a book called The Sugar Jar, Carla an app called the 5 minute journal and Delaila The Holy Bible App.

After finding her passion, and learning the power of no, listen to how Elizabeth Carrier launched her career in SAP among a field of blue suits, her daily grind, and the not so glamorous day-to-day as an SAP Industry Account Executive. With her competitive mentality, a shift in mindset, and constantly putting her customers first, Elizabeth went from a rookie to an MVP in just a few short years.

From an early age we are ingrained with the idea that "no" is a negative word. In some cases, obviously, rightfully so. However, what if we could use "no" to our advantage--instead of as our oppressor? What if "no" became the most powerful word we hear?
