About this episode
Dr. B and Juliana discuss the importance of saying 'yes' only when it brings joy to avoid resentment.
Do you find yourself saying "yes" to things and then having resentment? In this episode, Dr. B and Juliana discuss Marshall Rosenberg's guideline of only saying "yes" when it brings you joy - like a child feeding ducks! We might not always get to that joy - but the idea of using this guideline can come in quite handy to help us move in situations with less resentment.
