What if saying “no” opened more doors than saying “yes” ever did?
In this episode of Building a Mumpire, Leah and Jess get brutally honest about the power of saying no—and how that simple word can completely shift your business and your mental load. They share raw moments of overcommitting, ignoring red flags, and chasing all the things... only to realise that constantly saying yes can slowly lead to burnout.
As mums and business owners, it’s easy to fall into the trap of doing everything for everyone. But what if protecting your time, energy, and headspace actually helped your business grow? From learning to slow down and check in with yourself, to letting go of income that doesn’t align—this chat is full of “yep, I’ve been there” moments.
You’ll hear how creating space (not just in your calendar but in your mindset) can lead to better choices, clearer boundaries, and more aligned opportunities. Because sometimes the best way forward is to pause, take a breath, and stop doing things just because you can.
🎧 Tune in now and tell us in the comments or our DMs — what’s something you’ve said no to recently that felt like a win for your wellbeing?
