About this listen
🚧 "Can't. Recharging." Two words that used to feel like rejection — and turned out to be the healthiest thing a friend ever sent.

Paul and Edzel get brutally practical about setting boundaries without losing friends: why saying no feels like a threat, the childhood conditioning that made you a chronic yes-person, the difference between a boundary and a wall, and the actual word-for-word scripts for money, venting, chronic lateness, group chats, public volunteering, and guilt trips. Plus how to receive a no like an adult, and why the friends who adjust were the real ones all along.
