How Learning to Say No Creates Space for What Matters Most with Allison Burns

The thing that prevents us from saying no to opportunities in our business is most often a fear of what people will think - and that can come at a great cost. My guest, designer Allison Burns, knows this well and joins me to talk about how she overcame her people-pleasing and perfectionistic tendencies so she could say no more often. In this episode, we talk about the assumptions Allison had around saying no, about the tradeoffs of saying yes to too many things and about how learning to say no helped Allison run a more aligned business and enjoy more time off with her family.
