We hear our kids start using the word “NO” around the age of two. It’s an act of control, testing limits and they know it’s going to get a reaction out of you. Strangely it’s also a word that we, as women, have a hard time using. It carries with it the fear of disappointment and of missing out. It can create social anxiety. It’s only two letters but it carries power and control. In today’s podcast I am going to share with you 3 reasons you are having a hard time saying NO and how to make it easier.
