Ah, the good old “respect your elders” bit that was likely drilled into your head, as it was mine too. I feel this one, Riyah, as I had to unlearn it right along with you. I am so glad that you’re unlearning it and taking more control over your life by saying no.

I am so glad you enjoyed this post, Laura! It really does take a lot of confidence and strength, especially for women, to be able to say no. I hope this has helped you be able to say no whenever you need to!

Saying no really is one of the easiest ways to weed out the people who don’t belong in our lives, Luna! I’m glad you’re learning to say no.

Along with learning to say no, you also learn who is and isn’t good to keep around.

You rightly point out that there is a lot of healing that needs to/ gets to happen in the background for us to feel confident and strong enough to say no. And thank you for the simple tips on HOW to go about it. Amazing, as always. Thank you

I was raised much the same way, and finding the voice to say no was a big deal, and a very long journey. I’m so glad you found the strength to say no as well, Lyosha! I love seeing how much you’ve changed since your move and Baby Ada being born. It’s obvious you’re so much happier now, and I’m excited for you.

I was raised to be a pleaser for my family, the only reason my parents had me was to be a partner and entertainment for my grandmother (it would have been different if I were a boy though). It was very painful and hard for me to learn how to say no and protect myself. you post covers I had to do to achieve a success and learn how to say ‘no’ and be good to myself first
