Are you caught in the "yes" trap? Allison shares how saying yes to everything drained her. Pro tip? Listen to your body. Say yes to what aligns with your passion.

A liberating practice of saying "no", especially when something doesn't align with your passions
The magic of building confidence with self-affirmations to transform insecurities into strengths

REFLECTION QUESTION
Reflect on a recent moment when you felt you were "not enough" or "too much." What triggered these feelings, and can you reframe it into a positive affirmation?
“I started to feel more and more confident. And it just was a slow awakening that I could actually activate this in any aspect of my life, whether it's my career, my communication, my relationship, whether it's feeling good in a bathing suit. And I now, shockingly, consider myself quite a confident person.” - Allison Guilbault
“When we all rise up, we do better collectively. So if I can touch as many human beings on the face of this planet and get them to believe in themselves, I will leave this earth thinking I did alright.” - Allison Guilbault
