"No"-vember
What's "No"vember? It's a time to start saying "no" to people, peoples, & things that drain your energy, or that isn't good for your wellbeing. Dylan and Megan share their thoughts on the positives on saying no, on making boundaries, and looking out for yourself before anyone else. People pleasing is a real thing, going above and beyond is common, but we often forget to check in with ourselves to make sure we actually have the capacity to say yes to all these additional things. Remove the idea on feeling guilty for setting a boundary or saying no. It's okay not to say yes all the time.
This week we also have music featured by Brettyn Rose & Tom Cary.
