1. You have the right to say no without feeling guilty. Provide context if you so desire but no long-ass explanation required.
2. You have the right to make mistakes, course correct, and change your mind. Growth is not a straight line and you don’t owe anyone a perfect performance.
3. You have the right to negotiate for your own needs, desires, and preferences. In every relationship. Every single time.
4. You have the right to voice your opinion even if others disagree. Their discomfort with your truth is not a reason to abandon it.
5. You have the right to determine who has the privilege of being in your life. Not everyone deserves access to you and your most tender heart.
6. You have the right to prioritize your self-care without feeling selfish. You cannot pour from an empty cup, and it’s not noble to try.
7. You have the right to say no without feeling guilty. You have been saying yes to crap you don’t want to be saying yes to your whole life. That ends now.
8. You have the right to talk true, be seen, and live free. That is not too much to ask for. That really is the whole thing.
