If you struggle to say no, you might not have a boundary problem—you might have an overexplaining problem. In this episode, I break down why giving too many reasons weakens your boundaries, turns your no into a negotiation, and makes it easier for people to push past your limits. I’ll show you how to set firm boundaries with fewer words, stronger statements, and simple phrases you can use right away to protect your time, energy, and peace.

  • disrespect our own boundaries, and that is simply by over explaining them.

  • If you are listening to this episode and you happen to be an over explainer,

  • you know exactly how defeating it is to feel like I have this boundary that I want to set,

  • but gosh, it's just not setting the right way.

  • What am I doing wrong?

  • Well,

  • I am going to tell you exactly why over explaining is slowly washing away every hard line that you make in the sand.

  • All right.

  • And at the end of this episode, I'm going to give you some takeaway points,

  • some statements that you can use to make sure that that doesn't happen again,

  • Big difference.

  • All that and more coming up.
