The Art of Saying No: Insights from Discovering Our Scars
I think if the world had more critical thinking about their yeses and no, we'd be a better place.
Ever find yourself agreeing to things you later regret? In this episode of 'Discovering Our Scars', hosts Stephanie Kostopoulos and Beth Demme dive into the complexities of being a 'yes person'. Beth confesses her tendency to say yes easily, driven by a fear of missing out (FOMO) and a desire to please others. On the flip side, Steph shares her more cautious approach, often asking questions before committing to anything.
Through their candid conversation, they explore the consequences of saying yes too often and the importance of setting boundaries. From personal anecdotes—like Steph declining a bridesmaid request—to broader reflections on societal pressures, this episode offers valuable insights into why we say yes and when it's crucial to say no. The hosts encourage listeners to think critically about their commitments and to recognize the power of a well-placed 'no'.
Tune in for a thoughtful discussion that might just change how you approach your next decision.
