"Text us your thoughts and questions!"
Viewer question: What do you do when someone won't take "No" for an answer? Everyone has been in this situation at one time or another. This is a quick-hit video pulling together and applying everything we have covered on boundaries, self-trust, curiosity, and managing conflicts.
🔥 Episode Key Points:
✅ A.. Get clear on all three parts of your boundary.
✅ B. Align with a value on honesty and truthfulness.
✅ C. Commit to being someone YOU trust.
✅ D. Adopt a curiosity frame.
✅ E. Meet the person's zealous advocacy of their agenda with compassion or even humor.
✅ If the person persists beyond reason, return to boundaries with focus on leg 2 & 3, use Advocacy with Inquiry.
✅ If your No was wishy washy and you give in, own that choice, learn from the outcome rather than nursing resentment, and have compassion for yourself if it was the wrong choice.
