Fear Less Business Podcast

  Today, Jamie flies solo! She gets to talk about one of her favorite topics and tell us all about her mad boundary setting skills!    We often find it challenging to say no. Worry and fear can creep in and saying no may feel like we’re going to lose something or miss out on important events.    But setting appropriate boundaries can help you combat this. A boundary is the process of determining the behavior you will or will not accept from others.    Jamie dives into why saying no can be so hard and walks us through, step by step, how to set appropriate, healthy boundaries.    Please join us in the HQ! Let us know about your boundary stories. If you struggle to say no, if this is an area you need to work on. We’d love to be your accountability partners!   As always, please subscribe to the FearLess Business Podcast wherever you listen, and we are always eternally grateful for a review.    Find Jamie here: Website: www.hashtag-legal.com YouTube: Be Fearless with Jamie Lieberman Instagram: @has
