61 You are Allowed to Say No

Beatrice Kamau
About this episode
Hey girl!
 
In this episode, we talk about why you are absolutely, 100% allowed to say no- or any variation of it. We talk about how our trauma and inner child wounds can hold us back from expressing that we do not want to do something. You are allowed to not want to do something. You are allowed to express that you do not want to do something without feeling guilty for how others will respond. Tune into this episode to listen in on more of the conversation!
