Stop Apologizing for Having Boundaries
You know that weird gut-drop feeling when you say no and immediately feel like a terrible person?This week on The Balanced Badass Podcast™, I'm pulling the curtain back on one of the sneakiest emotional traps high-achievers fall into: boundary guilt. That knee-jerk shame spiral that shows up any time you try to say, “Hey, I actually don’t have capacity for that.” I get it. I've lived it. I've said yes while having literal panic attacks before meetings. Not because I wanted to... but because I felt like I had to. This episode unpacks:
Plus, I share my G.A.S. Check—a tool I teach my coaching clients to help them decide if a yes is coming from guilt, alignment, or fear of missing out. If you’ve been people-pleasing on autopilot and you're ready to get off that train, this episode is your permission slip.
Because listen—you’re not here to be a human support ticket. Say no. Mean it. And don’t apologize for being a balanced badass. Talk soon, Tara |
