In this episode, Cooper Alexander and Mary Sullivan, co-founders of Sweet but Fearless, discuss when and how to say ‘no’ to taking on more work. For most of us, saying no doesn't come naturally. We want to be seen as 'yes people'—the 'go-to' team players. However, agreeing to take on too many assignments and projects can leave you overextended and stressed.

So when should you say ‘no’? Cooper and Mary outline why it makes sense to decline additional work and provide tips on how to do so without negatively affecting your career.
