Do you struggle with knowing how to say no without feeling guilty?Maybe you’ve said yes to something, then immediately felt that heavy feeling in your stomach because you knew you didn’t really have the time, energy, or desire to do it.In this episode, I’m talking about how to say no in a way that honors your life, your people, your peace, and the work God has placed in your hands. We’re continuing the conversation from the last episode on what it means to choose your absence and turning our attention to chapter 17 of The Next Right Thing by Emily P. Freeman, where she talks about finding a “no mentor.”A no mentor is someone who can help you make wise decisions when you already know something should probably be a no, but you don’t quite have the confidence to say it yet. This is the person who reminds you of what you value, what you have time for, what season you’re in, and what you truly want to give your energy to.Because the truth is, saying no is not always easy.Sometimes we say yes because we don’t want to hurt people’s feelings.Sometimes we say yes because we want to seem agreeable.Sometimes we say yes because we feel responsible for everything and everyone.And sometimes we say yes because the opportunity looks good, even though deep down we know it does not align with where we are going.But when we keep saying yes to things that do not belong, our calendar gets full, our hearts get heavy, and we lose the space we need for the things that truly matter.In this episode, I share why information is not always enough. We can read the books, listen to the advice, and understand that we need better boundaries, but when the moment comes, we still need the courage to act. We need to move from knowing to doing.I also share why my sister has been a no mentor for me, especially when I need help making decisions around relationships and personal connections I want to preserve. Some decisions require wisdom, care, and a trusted voice that can help us see clearly.We talk about what kind of person makes a good no mentor. Someone whose values align with yours. Someone who has context for your life. Someone who understands the underbelly of your choice. Someone who respects you but is not so impressed by you that they cannot tell you the truth.This episode is especially for the introvert who feels overwhelmed by obligations, expectations, and opportunities that may be good but are not right for this season.Here’s the question I want you to sit with:Do you have the time, space, and energy to pursue the life, dreams, and calling God has placed in your heart while still carrying all the things you’ve already said yes to?If the answer is no, I hope this episode gives you the courage to pause, reflect, and choose what truly matters.Learning how to say no is not about being selfish.It is about stewardship.It is about protecting your peace.It is about honoring your limits.And it is about making room for the life God is inviting you to live.Send me an email and tell me: do you have a no mentor in your life?Share this episode with a friend who struggles with saying no.Leave a review and let me know what stood out to you from this conversation.Thanks for being here!
