“If right now you're feeling frustrated, you're feeling stressed, overwhelmed, perhaps angry, you feel resentment because you are thinking about work all the time, or you're working way beyond what you agreed. This exercise will help.'" — Nicole Trick Steinbach

Welcome to No-vember with the Celebrate Brave Podcast! This month, we're diving deep into the power of saying no and setting boundaries to help you thrive. 

Today, I have a special exercise for you to identify your own no's, and in the coming weeks, we'll have inspiring guests sharing their own approaches and suggestions on harnessing the power of no.

If you've been feeling frustrated, stressed, overwhelmed, or resentful in your life or career, it's time to pause, take a breath, and evaluate what's not serving you anymore. This is where our Build Your Brave framework is the tool to guide you: clarity, momentum, and accountability.

To start, imagine a room that represents your life, filled with objects symbolizing your career, relationships, hobbies, and more. Reflect on what stands out to you, and what's overwhelming or missing. Use this exercise to help you identify what you don't want anymore, giving you the clarity to make decisions and create positive changes in your life.

To help deepen your experience, I share three real-life examples from my clients who did this exercise, identified and embraced their no's so that they could transform their careers.

Remember, Brave Ones, by saying no, you're saying yes to a life of authenticity, fulfillment, and joy.
