Description

Saying yes can feel expansive.
 Open. Generous. Aligned with possibility.

Until it isn’t.

In this episode of Shatter This, Heather Simpson explores the evolution from being energetically open to being intentionally discerning — and why learning to say no isn’t about closing doors, becoming rigid, or losing abundance.

It’s about direction.

This conversation is for leaders who believe in opportunity, growth, and possibility — but are done paying for misalignment with their time, energy, and focus.

If you’ve ever:

• said yes because something was possible, not principled
• delayed a boundary until burnout forced it
• felt scattered instead of expanded by too many opportunities
• worried that saying no would make you smaller or less open

This episode will resonate deeply.

In this episode, Heather explores:

• The difference between openness and availability
• How every yes trains people how to treat your time and energy
• Why saying no is not rejection — it’s refinement
• The hidden cost of staying a “yes” person for too long
• How discernment creates cleaner alignment and stronger leadership
• Using guiding principles as a compass instead of pressure or obligation
• Why sovereign leaders don’t over-explain their no

Key takeaway

My no isn’t closed.
 It’s aligned.

Saying no doesn’t mean you’re shutting down possibility.
 It means you’re choosing direction — and protecting the future you’re building.
