Do you say "yes" more easily on Zoom or a phone call than you work via email?

Me, too. Let's talk about practical strategies we can use to avoid overcommitting just because we were asked on Zoom/the phone – strategies that don't ask us to change but still get us where we want to go.

In this episode, Kelly shares practical strategies to help you hold firm on your boundaries during phone calls and video meetings—without the panic or guilt.

You’ll learn:

Why Zoom calls and phone conversations make it harder to hold firm on boundaries
The sneaky role emotional pressure and calendar blindness play in real-time yeses
Two practical strategies to help you say no (or at least delay your yes!)
Why acknowledging your people-pleasing tendencies can be the key to better boundaries
How Kelly’s own experience led her to create safeguards that honor her time and energy
How this mindset fits into the broader approach of The Bright Method

Plus, Kelly shares how her core belief—that time management strategies must be realistic—informs every part of her system and why learning to work with your tendencies, not against them, leads to more confidence and peace of mind.

This episode is for you if you're craving more intentional control over your time—but your real-time interactions keep derailing your best efforts. You'll walk away with tangible, kind-to-yourself tools you can use in your next Zoom call.
