EP. 195 [Women Winning Series] Learning How to Say NO! with Robyn Spens

The Black Woman’s Stress Solution Podcast: discover the connection between Black women’s stress in work, love, and health—offering real solutions to help you stress less and thrive more!

In the hustle of everyday life, we often find ourselves saying "yes" more than we'd like, leading to overwhelm, stress, and dissatisfaction. But what if the power to change that lies in two simple letters: N-O?

In our latest episode, we dive deep into the art of setting boundaries with Robyn Spens, a therapist and coach who has transformed from a gemologist to a guardian of personal space and self-respect. Robin's journey is as sparkling as the diamonds she once dealt with. She fought her way through a masculine-dominated industry to find her true calling in helping others reclaim their voices. Her story is not just inspiring; it's a roadmap for anyone feeling trapped in the cycle of people-pleasing.

Brig and Robin explore the societal pressures that condition us to please others at the expense of our own needs, and the resulting stress and resentment that builds up when we can't say no. Listen in to discover how saying no can actually lead to more respect and authenticity in relationships, and why it's a critical skill for stress relief and emotional well-being.

As Robin eloquently puts it, "It's okay that your no is a whisper and then it becomes a roar." Let this conversation guide you there.
