The Business of Boundaries: How to Protect your Energy and Needs with Everyone in your Life EP224


You have to be willing to say this sentence in order to get exactly what you want.

It’s so simple, yet one of the hardest things to put into practice.

“No.”

Being able to say, “no,” without preparing an excuse or giving some explanation, without apologizing for it….was pure agony for me.

Because people sensed this about me my entire life, I got used, walked all over, and taken for granted in both business and my personal life.

It wasn’t until I literally almost died from people pleasing, over-extending my self, and tending to everyone needs above my own, that I was willing to change my operating system.

I believed that if I told someone I wanted something different than what they wanted, or something they wouldn’t approve of, that they would hate me, leave me, or ridicule me.

This scared me to the point where I was willing to suffer and abandon my own needs and desires.

I’m sharing this vulnerable truth about me; because I want you to hear what I wish someone had taught me from birth.

If you aren’t happy in certain areas of your life (or any areas), ask yourself what are you saying “yes” to when you really mean “no?”

We have to be willing to say “no” to the people, places, and things that are no longer working for us, in order to allow room for the people, places, and things we desire.

As we close out the Year of the Snake and prepare to enter the Year of the Fire Horse on February 17, 2026, we are moving through a rare 60-year transition cycle associated with identity shifts, shedding outdated patterns, and stepping into a faster, bolder chapter of life.

This episode explores the final shedding required before a major quantum jump, why this phase can feel emotionally intense, and how to stop delaying the version of you that is ready to move forward.

Instead of surface-level motivation or spiritual bypassing, this conversation focuses on honest self-reflection, releasing emotional attachments, confronting resistance, and taking decisive action so you can move into your next level with clarity and momentum.

Most high achievers think burnout comes from working too hard. The truth is much simpler: burnout comes from weak boundaries.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, resentful, overwhelmed, or stretched too thin, it’s not because you care too much or work too much. It’s because you’ve been saying yes to things that should have been a no.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to set healthy boundaries without guilt, fear, or anxiety — and how to finally stop overgiving to the point of losing yourself.
