How did “yes” and “no” become the two most confusing words in the English language?

We grew up learning that "yes means yes" and "no means no," but consent is so much more complicated and nuanced.

It leads us to say yes to things we REALLY don't want because we don't want to disappoint someone else.

But we also say "Oh no, I'm fine" when someone offers exactly what we want ... even crave!

After a while, you might not even know what you want anymore.

At this class, we'll look at why this is, and how to begin adjusting our behavior.

In this class we’ll talk about:

🫠 Why we’re so quick to say yes when we’d rather say no;

😳 Why asking for what we want (or even admitting we want it!) can feel so uncomfortable; and

❤️ How to start figuring out what YOU actually want, instead of what everyone else wants from you.

Leah will talk for a little while, then open it up to a group discussion where you can ask all the questions you haven’t had a place to ask!
