Kelly and Megan are discussing the beginnings of boundaries. They’re tiptoeing into the world of saying no by sharing ways in which we play a role in being over committed, how we make assumptions about people’s reaction to our saying “no”, and alternative options that aren’t a FULL YES, but also not a FULL NO.
*Kelly says it’s two weeks until the new year, we know it’s THREE!!
This is our last Tuesday episode for the year! We’ll be back January 16th with a new season and new episodes. Happy holidays and Happy New Year.
