This required looking inside myself for the answers instead of looking outside myself.

I told you it wasn’t easy … but I wouldn’t change one thing about my journey because it led me right here to you reading about it, maybe identifying with aspects of it and hopefully being inspired to get UNSTUCK.

• Master the art of declining requests faster than you can say "I'd love to, but..."
• One simple question that'll make you feel less guilty than eating the last slice of cake at a party.

Whether you're a black belt in people-pleasing or just a yellow belt in setting boundaries, this episode is your chance to level up your self-care game.
