What if saying “no” is the most powerful act of love for yourself and others?
In this empowering Boldness Blueprint episode of Unrestrained B.O.L.D-ness™ | Taylor-Made for Impact, Jo Taylor sits down with Sheryl Green, author, speaker, and boundary expert, to explore the courage it takes to stop people-pleasing and start living boldly.
After years of burnout and overcommitment, Sheryl learned that setting boundaries isn’t selfish, it’s self-respect. Together, she and Jo unpack the generational patterns, leadership pressures, and emotional traps that make “no” so hard to say, and how reclaiming your time and energy changes everything.
In this episode:
Breaking free from people-pleasing and perfectionism
Why saying “no” builds stronger relationships and healthier workplaces
The generational shift toward honesty and self-respect
How boundaries protect empathy instead of limiting it
The PEC method: Pause, Evaluate, and Consider before saying yes
What real leadership looks like when boundaries are clear
"The only person a people-pleaser doesn’t please is themselves.” — Sheryl Green
