In Episode 6, Rapid Transformational Therapist & Coach Kymberley Carter-Paige explores the strength in saying "No" when it comes to building our own internal power and sense of agency.
Kym also emphasises the vital role pets play in our homes, offering unconditional love and acceptance during challenging times.
“Children are quite good at saying no. We lose that ability as we get older because we become the people-pleaser.
– Where does that come from, people pleasing? What is that?
Well, a lot of it is when you're brought up being told to be polite, to be friendly, to be a good girl. But then at what point do you be a good girl when there's abuse? And again, that's hard for children when an uncle, someone they know, is doing something that doesn't feel right, but they don't want to be rude and say no.
So again, we really need to teach our children that in some instances, you're absolutely right to say no. And where those boundaries are, because we just assume they would know, but they don't.
So it's, again, saying your body autonomy, you have to say no - if anybody wants to go anywhere near there, it is always a no.
– And that includes jabs.
– Yes.”
