What's the hardest thing you've ever had to say no to, and was it really the nicer car, or was it something you actually loved?
Today, I get honest about the "no" I'm worst at, turning down more of the work I genuinely love, and why that one is so much harder than turning down a bigger house or a nicer car.
I talk about why this hits working parents hardest. When the income lever is always in reach, "enough" stops being a math problem and becomes a permission problem. And the cost of saying yes to more never shows up on the same page as the benefit.
I share the number Theresa and I save at home that keeps me honest, the count of summers left with the kids, and the small practice I use to keep the no available. We close with one question worth asking before your next yes.
