Say Yes to Less
In “Say Yes to Less,” Dr. Emily Jacobs challenges the cultural belief that constant self-sacrifice and overperforming are the price of success. She reveals how people-pleasing quietly drains our energy, confidence, and creativity and why boundaries are not barriers, but a profound act of self-respect. Through a powerful blend of science, storytelling, and lived experience, she offers a bold framework for reclaiming vitality, clarity, and purpose. This talk invites us to stop seeking permission to rest and begin honoring our limits as the path to authentic fulfillment and personal power.
