How often do you find yourself saying 'yes' when you really want to say 'no'? In this episode of 'Get Connected AF', Angey and Lori dive into the tricky but essential topic of setting boundaries. They kick things off by acknowledging how tough it can be to establish limits, especially if you're someone who struggles with self-esteem or tends to put work before personal needs.
