This week, Nikki and Damaris get real about the art of saying no—why it feels so hard, why women tend to over-explain, and how to set boundaries without torching relationships. They share simple scripts that skip the five-paragraph excuse, ways to protect your energy before you’re burnt out, and how to handle kid-party invites, charity asks, and work favors with grace (and minimal group-text chaos).
They also tackle holiday expectations—the heartbreak of trying to make everyone happy—and offer a reset: name what you actually want, ask others what they want, and plan from there. Plus, the tiny rituals that keep your calendar (and sanity) intact: guarding a night at home, choosing the couch over the play, and letting “can’t make it” be a complete sentence.
And because it’s That’s Fun, the serious talk comes with delightfully weird detours: Would you jump into a pool of jello or marshmallows? Confetti entrance or personal theme song? Swap voices or wardrobes with your BFF for a week? Chat with lions or pigeons? It’s permission, perspective, and plenty of giggles—proof that sometimes the most fun you can have is choosing what not to do.
