Do you find yourself constantly saying "Sure, no problem" even when you're overwhelmed? In a refreshingly honest conversation, author Amy Wilson joins host Katie Fogarty to share how you can break free from the helper trap. If you're the person everyone counts on—at work, at home, and everywhere in between—you'll relate to Wilson's frank, funny stories about learning to set boundaries and prioritize your own needs. Discover why "no" is such a complicated sentence for lifelong helpers, how to handle the pushback when you finally say no, and why midlife is the right time to resist solving everyone else’s problems. Ready to reclaim your time and energy? Tune in!
