When was the last time you said no and felt good about it?  Seriously. When?

Welcome to That’s a Hard No, the podcast about saying no and setting boundaries so you can become the authentic and empowered you that this world needs.

On this podcast, we talk with interesting people about all the different ways we can and should say no, and why it’s so darned hard for most of us to do it. Tune in for inspiring conversations and concrete strategies to help you start saying no to what’s blocking you and make room for good things yet to come.

HEATHER DRAGO

Hi there! I’m Heather. I’m a 52-year-old mom of two adult children and a recent cancer survivor. I’m also a small business owner. I head Clever Girl Marketing, in Cleveland, Ohio.

I began focusing on saying no in January of 2019, when I declared it my “Year of No.” I made it my mission to say no at least once every day and learned to overcome fear, guilt, and a whole lot of things that were holding me back. I’m still working on it, but learning to say no has changed my life, and I’m telling everyone I can about it.

I’m so excited to co-host this podcast with my friend and colleague, Sarah Saunders, and can’t wait to talk with our guests and all of you as we learn how to take better care of ourselves and live our best lives.
