What a helpful essay! As someone who struggles to set boundaries and say no, I’m beyond grateful.

Such a needed piece. The pressure to say yes to every dinner out is real and noone talks about how fast it adds up

Loved reading this, Mia. Thank you! Also, the bit at the bottom where you said “you can’t take it with you” — I hear this all the time! Can you expand on this, or perhaps provide a different perspective on it. A lot of those comments get me every time!

Absolutely! Thanks for the comment Jayde, I'll think of a way to incorporate this in a future article! :)
