Here’s a sample of what you’ll find inside:
If someone handed you a bottle of poison and said “Here, chug this,” would you do it?
Of course not! You’d say, “Mmm…no thank you.” You’d say no. You’d hold that boundary. (Good for you!)
Holding a boundary around ingesting poison is easy because it’s obvious. Drinking it would bring immediate danger to your safety and well-being. You could die!
You probably also have an easy time saying no to other dangerous acts. BUT…how many things are you saying yes to that chip away at your health and well-being slowly?
In what ways are you saying yes to itty-bitty, polite sips of polite that, over time, will eventually take you out?
Long-term stress not only causes anxiety and depression, which is life-threatening when left untreated, but also heart disease, high blood pressure, heart attacks, and strokes. Also gastrointestinal issues and other conditions.
When you say “yes” to something that causes you stress, you are harming yourself. You already know this; it’s why you’re here.
Saying “no” isn’t impolite, isn’t inconsiderate, and it doesn’t make you a bad person. Saying “no” is protecting your health. It’s self-preservation.
You deserve a healthy life with the least amount of stress possible. And the way you get that is by saying “no” to people and situations that ask more of you than you can comfortably give.
So let’s learn how to stop taking tiny sips of poison:

Who is Shannon?
Hi! I’m a sex coach, a recovering people-pleaser, and a huge fan of the word ‘no’.
My sexuality-centered work requires a lot of familiarity with boundaries and enforcing them. While Saying ‘No’ with Shannon isn’t focused on sex, its contents are guided by principles like self-love, communication, and consent.
As someone raised to put others’ needs before my own, I struggled to say ‘no’ for most of my childhood and young-adult life.
It wasn’t until a therapist showed me how poor boundaries were keeping me constantly stressed, depressed, and anxious that I finally started taking real steps to say ‘no’ to sources of strain in my life.
Saying ‘no’ completely transformed my relationships with family members, friends, partners, bosses…pretty much everyone I interact with. It allowed me to carve out time for rest, self-care, and self-reflection so that I could be my best self.
I created Saying ‘No’ with Shannon because I have so many friends who wanted it. So: here it is! Whether you use the eBook, audio guide, or attend the virtual or live workshop, I hope you find it helpful.
I also hope you’ll join the Boundary Buddies Facebook group for ongoing accountability and support in the journey to build better boundaries. See you there!
