Podcast Episode Description

🎙️ Find Your Leadership Confidence Podcast

Hosted by Vicki Noethling

Guest: Barbara Nangle

Episode Title: Learning How to Say No without Guilt and Shame


What if saying “no” could be the key to reclaiming your power—without guilt, shame, or fear of judgment?


In this transformative episode, host Vicki Noethling sits down with Barbara Nangle, boundaries coach, speaker, author, and Founder of Higher Power Coaching & Consulting. At the age of 52, after decades of therapy and self-help efforts, Barb found her life forever changed through 12-step recovery. Once a self-described people-pleasing rescuer, she now helps others reclaim their time, energy, and emotional health by teaching them how to set and maintain healthy boundaries—especially women who often put others’ needs before their own.


Barb dives into:



  • Why boundaries are so hard to set and what they really mean

  • Her BUILD framework for building strong personal and professional limits

  • How to overcome the guilt and shame that come with saying “no”

  • The mindset shift that changed everything in her recovery

  • The link between trauma, codependency, and boundary issues

  • How to handle pushback from people when you start to set boundaries


Whether you’re a leader, entrepreneur, or someone tired of living life on everyone else’s terms, this episode will equip you with insight and tools to stop over-giving and start living more freely.


👉 Ready to finally prioritize your own well-being? This is the conversation you didn’t know you needed.
