Learning to Say No

Have you felt torn between what you think you should do versus what your gut is telling you you want to do? Whether it’s to make a friend or family member happy, a work opportunity or FOMO – saying no to things that sound like a good idea or that you know would make someone you care about happy is extremely hard to do. As finances and the balance between work and a social life become more challenging to manage in adulthood, it’s important to be aware of your options and understand how to make the right decision for YOU. In today’s episode, Raeann and Kristina talk about recent decisions that have been hard to make, and walk through their process of how they decide when and how to say no. If you struggle with setting boundaries, prioritizing your time, preparing for big goals and managing finances this episode is for you!
