Overview

Welcome to Audio Learning from Assemble You.

This lesson offers practical, actionable advice on saying ‘no’ more often and taking control of your day.

Saying ‘yes’ comes naturally. As human beings, it makes us feel good to make ourselves available to help others. But what doesn’t feel good is the stress of deadlines we’re struggling to meet, potential burnout, and having no time for self-care because we’ve taken too much on.
