In a world that celebrates constant availability, learning to say “no” is a radical act of self-care.

In this short Tea Mind episode, we unpack:

* Why we default to “yes” and what it costs us

* The emotional burden of over-giving

* How to reframe “no” as a powerful “yes” to what matters

* A calming 5-step tea routine to help you strengthen your boundaries

* Gentle questions to help you honour your energy with grace.

Whether you’re burnt out, stretched thin, or just craving more space to breathe, this episode invites you to reclaim your time, one cup of tea. And one honest “no” at a time.

Mentioned in this episode:

* The 5-Step Tea Routine for Boundaries

* Affirmations to reset your intentions

* Mindful breathing to pause before you respond

Take the pause. Sip the tea. Say the no.Your peace begins with a boundary.

For teas to support any imbalance within your Earth element… for any people pleasers or those struggling with setting boundaries I recommend trying some oolong teas. That’s definitely something to say yes to!
