Ep. 12 | When You are a Yes, You are Also Intentionally a No

In this episode of the She Finds Joy podcast, Kim gets real about why we say yes to things we don’t want to do, why we need to stop doing that so much and what happens when we start saying yes to ourselves.

If you find you’re saying yes to all the things, missing out on what matters to you and feeling all the feelings when your needs aren’t being met, this episode will help you break that pattern and start putting yourself first more often.

In this episode, Kim takes on…

Reasons moms say yes when they would rather say no

Why reluctant yeses are a self-love issue

How increasing your happiness level can shift your life and how saying no can help do that

How to decide when to say yes and when to say no

Top Tips from Kim:

Sometimes saying yes to things we don’t want to do is about the kind of person that we are. We all want to be helpful and do the right thing. Doing the right thing also includes taking care of ourselves and making sure we don’t get depleted. That’s our responsibility too. You need to evaluate the cost of your “yes” and know when you say “yes” to something, you’re saying “no” to something or someone else (and often as moms that’s ourselves and our own happiness.) You need to move yourself up your own priority list and start seeing your own value. You’ll be glad you did!
