Why do we feel the need to explain every “no”?
In this solo episode, I’m getting real about the emotional labor of constantly overexplaining ourselves—especially when it comes to protecting our energy.

Whether it’s friendships, family, work, or dating—saying “no” shouldn’t come with guilt, fear, or a five-paragraph essay. I’m sharing how I learned to stop justifying my boundaries, trust my inner “no,” and choose peace over people-pleasing.

This episode is your reminder that you don’t have to be accessible to everyone. You’re allowed to choose you—with no apology, no guilt, and no long story.
