Episode 64: How to Say "No" with love with Chelene Knight

Setting boundaries can be incredibly difficult. The thought of saying 'no' or turning someone down when they ask for help can be anxiety inducing to say the least.

In this episode my guest, author and coach Chelene Knight, shares her brilliant strategy for saying 'no' with love. Our conversation was packed with actionable tools and pearls of wisdom, so you might want to listen with a notebook handy:

We talk about:

• The secret signs of burnout and knowing when your body needs to slow down
• How Chelene transitioned quickly from her day job to successfully running her own business
• Practical, actionable time management strategies
• Using Chelene's 'energy assessment tool' on your daily tasks
• How to change up boring tasks (that you have to do) and make them fun
• Saying 'no' without burning bridges or upsetting people
• Giving your creative energy breathing space
• The delicate dance of balancing earning money with creative integrity
• Using systems in your creative business to automate and streamline your workload
• Creativity boosting tips to help you get in flow

I loved this conversation with Chelene. In a world that often promotes hustle, grind and burnout culture, she's an inspirational and highly accomplished creative who's blazing her own trail.
