Why does our body send a panic button when we say no and how do we turn it off

You set a boundary clearly and respectfully. Then comes the urge to soften it, apologise, or take it back.

Your decision may feel right, yet the possibility of someone feeling disappointed—or withdrawing from you—feels frightening.
Why can protecting our limits feel like risking our connection? More important how can we normalize protecting our peace in our bodies?

This week, we’ll explore the alarm that can follow saying no, and how to remain steady while allowing another person to have their own response.

Before joining us, reflect on your own experience.
Come with your thoughts, experiences and questions.

A few things before you join:
Please come from a quiet, private space where you can be fully present. Cameras are expected to be on — this is a conversation rather than a webinar, and being able to see one another helps us create the trust and human connection that makes these discussions possible.

Bring a cup of tea or whatever makes you comfortable, settle in, and come ready to listen as much as you speak.

One Question. One Hour. Many Perspectives.
