I am Unavailable for That: The People-Pleaser's Guide to Saying No featuring Sheryl Green

About this episode

Anna and Sheryl discuss the challenges of setting boundaries and how to effectively say no without guilt.

Ever feel like "yes" comes out before you even have a chance to think? Anna sits down with speaker, author, and boundary expert Sheryl Green to talk about why boundaries are so hard to set — and how to finally change that. Together they unpack why most of us were never taught boundaries in the first place, how to find your invisible lines in your body and your memory, and how to get the word "no" out of your mouth without the guilt spiral that usually follows. Sheryl also shares her powerful "rearview mirror" technique and the game-changing practice of declaring what you're simply unavailable for.
