Summary
Many people struggle to say no without over-explaining — not because they lack communication skills, but because part of them feels unsafe being misunderstood. In this episode, Simon explores the deeper emotional pattern behind over-explaining and how meeting the underlying feeling with presence and compassion naturally leads to clearer boundaries and greater self-trust.
