The last few months I said a firm NO to several people. Because they treated me in a way that I did not want to be treated.
One was a client. Very last minute she decided not to come to her second retreat. And it was only when I reached out to her about her travel plans that I found out. With my cancellation policies in place and it being only 3 days before the start of the retreat, she still would need to pay. But she was not willing to, not even to compensate any of my expenses.
Worse, she started blaming me. Telling me what I did wrong, what I neglected to do etcetera. Of course, this affected me at first, but then I clearly saw that she was trying to find reasons for herself to justify her not paying. For her own place of pain and struggle with what she was going through and the reason for not coming.
I offered her several options to meet each other in the middle. But still I experienced only very disrespectful behavior. Not calling me at the time she suggested to call. Ignoring messages.
I decided that I do not want that type of energy in my life. I said NO to her behavior. I accepted my financial losses, blocked her on social media and moved on.
