You Have the Right to Claim Equal Space with Eliza VanCort

Shout Out to The Boundless Heart Inner Circle members for owning your expansion and learning to say "No" when you want to say "No," so you can say "Yes" when you actually want to say, "Yes!" Join us in the revolution here: www.boundlessheartpod.com/innercircle 

Do you ever answer, "Yes," way too quickly, and you're left regretting it?

Do you wish people listened to you more?
