Have you ever said yes to an invitation and instantly regretted it? Or do you feel guilty when you have to cancel plans?
Instead of feeling like you have to say yes to everything, make 2020 all about learning to say no to others so you can say yes to yourself.
Guests:
Rachel Wilkerson Miller is a deputy editor at VICE and author of the forthcoming book, “The Art of Showing Up: How to Be There for Yourself and Your People.” Miller recently wrote two pieces for Self Magazine about saying no to invitations and about canceling plans with friends without feeling bad about it.
Dr. Shonda Craft is a licensed marriage and family therapist and dean of the School of Health and Human Services at St. Cloud State University.
