Episode Title: Learning How to Say No without Guilt and Shame

What if saying “no” could be the key to reclaiming your power—without guilt, shame, or fear of judgment?

In this transformative episode, host Vicki Noethling sits down with Barbara Nangle, boundaries coach, speaker, author, and Founder of Higher Power Coaching & Consulting. At the age of 52, after decades of therapy and self-help efforts, Barb found her life forever changed through 12-step recovery. Once a self-described people-pleasing rescuer, she now helps others reclaim their time, energy, and emotional health by teaching them how to set and maintain healthy boundaries—especially women who often put others’ needs before their own.

Barb dives into:

Why boundaries are so hard to set and what they really mean
Her BUILD framework for building strong personal and professional limits
How to overcome the guilt and shame that come with saying “no”
The mindset shift that changed everything in her recovery
The link between trauma, codependency, and boundary issues
How to handle pushback from people when you start to set boundaries

Whether you’re a leader, entrepreneur, or someone tired of living life on everyone else’s terms, this episode will equip you with insight and tools to stop over-giving and start living more freely.
