Episode 97~ The Year You Start Saying YES to Yourself, with Paula Mathias
<p>How many times have you said "yes"… when everything inside you wanted to say "no"?In this episode of Unapologetically Badass, I sit down with author, speaker, and creator of The YES Test™, Paula Mathias, to talk about one of the biggest traps women fall into: saying yes out of guilt, obligation, habit, or fear of disappointing others.After building a successful career in tech, raising three children, and becoming the person everyone relied on, Paula realized she'd stopped asking herself one important question:"What do I actually want?"That realization changed everything.At 50, she reinvented her career, wrote her first book, and developed The YES Test™—a practical framework that helps women make decisions aligned with their values instead of their people-pleasing.In this episode, we discuss:✔ Why women say yes when they mean no✔ Breaking free from guilt and obligation✔ Reinventing your life after 50✔ Setting boundaries without feeling selfish✔ Making decisions with confidence✔ Choosing yourself without apologyIf you've ever felt stretched too thin, overwhelmed, or like you're living everyone else's priorities instead of your own...This episode is your permission slip.</p>
