Here’s Why You Keep Saying Yes When You Want to Say No - Brainz Podcast with Jacqueline Young
Jacqueline D. Young is a former CEO, keynote speaker, leadership consultant and founder of The MindShift Coach. With more than 35 years of experience across education, executive leadership, counselling and human development, her work explores the hidden patterns that shape how people think, respond and lead.
In this episode, Jacqueline explores how childhood experiences can influence adult leadership, why people pleasing and perfectionism can become exhausting, and how midlife can prompt us to question a life that looks successful. Drawing on her own experience, she explains why recognising a pattern does not always make it easy to change.
She also shares insights from her Calm Authority framework and forthcoming book, Fierce. From pausing before saying yes to setting boundaries and sitting with the discomfort of saying no, this conversation offers practical ways to lead with greater clarity, confidence and self-trust while protecting your wellbeing.
