The Season of Saying No: Alignment, Boundaries & Protecting Your Brand Energy

This is your permission slip to stop over-showing up.

In this episode of Queens Behind the Scenes, Charise Beckett calls out the lie that opportunity means obligation. From executive boardrooms to brand partnerships, women — especially Black women in leadership — are constantly expected to say yes for visibility, validation, or value.

But as Charise says, “You don’t have to go every time you’re called.”

Through the lens of her P.O.I.S.E.™ framework, she unpacks how discernment, alignment, and boundaries protect not only your peace — but your reputation, energy, and personal brand.

Tune in for:

• Why saying no is a leadership strategy, not rebellion

• How to evaluate what’s truly on-brand vs. what’s just noise

• The real-world power of “You don’t have to go every time you’re called”

• And how to make peace — not pressure — your next performance metric

Because not everything with your name on it deserves your presence.
