No Thank You, Forever®: Emotional Regulation & Setting Boundaries (08-Sep-2026)

Tue, 08 Sep 2026 17:30:00 GMT

Join us on Tuesday, September 8th

TOPIC: No Thank You, Forever®: Emotional Regulation & Setting Boundaries

SPEAKER: Hosted by Jolene Watson

OVERVIEW

Have you ever agreed to something, professionally or personally, and immediately regretted it? Each unconsidered yes can cost time, energy, credibility, boundaries, self-respect, and dignity. The emotion of dignity reminds us that we are worthy of respect, value, and care, including from ourselves. Learning when and how to say a clear, respectful no is a powerful skill and an essential part of emotional regulation.

OUTCOMES

Enhance confidence and assertiveness with a focus on dignity.
Choose compassion over empathy. Boundaries require emotional agility.
Redefine time management with a focus on purpose, priorities, and core values.

No is a boundary decision; yes, is a responsibility-based decision

Boundaries are Learnable.

The Saskatoon Women’s Network (SWN) is thrilled to invite local businesswomen and professionals to the highly anticipated Gal’oween Vacation Gala on October 16th. This year’s theme, In My Villain Era, celebrates the thrill of being a confident, independent woman, taking care of our own needs ahead of others, even when it might make us look like the “bad guy”.

For over 40 years, the SWN Vacation Dinner has brought together Saskatoon’s women-owned business community for an unforgettable evening of networking, celebration, and fun.

This year’s gala promises to be more exciting than ever, featuring:

A dance floor to show off your best moves
A costume contest with fabulous prizes
Prize basket raffle and 50/50,
A buffet dinner, snacks and refreshments provided by Living Sky Catering
Opportunities to discover women-owned vendors
Spooky entertainment to keep things lively (including Tarot Card Reading)

As if that’s not enough, attendees will also have the chance to win the Grand Prize Vacation Package, a trip for two to Las Vegas* sponsored by Uniglobe Carefree Travel Group, to really let your villain side shine!

This event is about dressing up and having fun, but it’s more than just that. It’s about celebrating the incredible women of Saskatoon, building new connections, and embracing the idea that we can truly be anything we want to be, while giving women an evening where they don’t have to think about anything but being in the moment.
