088: The Elegant No, How to Set Boundaries Without Ever Saying No

26 Aug 2025

Description

Luxury isn't about saying yes to everything. It isn't the crowded calendar, the endless obligations, or the forced commitments that leave you drained. The new luxury is about discernment, alignment, and the elegant no... boundaries that protect your energy without guilt or apology. In this episode, I'm breaking down how to practice the elegant no so you can curate a life that feels expansive, intentional, and joy-filled. We'll talk… • Why saying no feels so hard, and how to reframe it as an act of self-worth. • How the French philosophy of restraint and refinement ties into living beautifully. • Real-world scenarios and scripts for saying no to friends, clients, and even family,  gracefully and without ever using the word "no." • How fewer, deeper yeses create more space for the everyday moments of joie de vivre. By the end of this episode, you'll see that boundaries aren't barriers, they're the foundation of living well, slowly, and luxuriously. Because your yes means more when you've mastered the elegant no.   Useful Resources: 📍Learn more about joining me in Provence: https://www.thecuratedretreat.com/provence   Let's be friends, oui?!   💅🏼 Subscribe to The Edit, your link to a well-lived life.
