My 10% rule to give a guilt-free no

So many women struggle to say no. Whenever women get a request for their precious time, they feel like they owe it to the person asking. The reality is that time is finite. It’s the one resource we have that we can’t get back.  Every yes we give to someone is a no we are giving to somebody else. That could be yourself, your family, your children, or even your friends.  So how can you better manage your time (and give a guilt-free no)? On today’s episode, you’ll discover a framework to set boundaries, make decisions, and figure out how to say no (without feeling guilty). Listen now!
