How to Say No and Stick to It: Level Up Your Boundaries and Step Into Confidence

Have you ever said “No” to a task—and then done it anyway? You’re not alone. In this interactive session, we’ll explore how honoring your boundaries isn’t about shutting people out—it’s about making space for the version of you (and your work) that’s emerging. We’ll explore biological reasons why it's hard to maintain boundaries and we’ll play with unique strategies to help you stick to those boundaries in everyday situations. 

You’ll learn practical, embodied strategies to help you say no with clarity, consistency, and confidence.

Takeaways:

  • Discover the key to a strong, committed “No” and how that clarity can open new opportunities 
  • Identify how to amplify your "No" so others can hear you, even when it’s hard
  • Experience a body-based strategy for moving through guilt, so you can stay focused, energized, and in motion.
  • Create a “Boundary Refresh Plan” to support momentum and alignment as your business (and identity) evolve.
