Quarter Life Clarity

How to Say No Without Losing Friends

Brian

John opens up about what happened when he said yes to everything… and how burnout, resentment, and disconnection followed.


We talk about setting boundaries without burning bridges, how your friendships might evolve in your 20s and 30s, and why saying no isn’t selfish — it’s necessary.
