Oh sweet, sweet, mother of pasta!

I’m 2 days away from heading off to Italy for a looooong overdue vacation. This trip is something I’ve dreamed about for years and we finally got our acts together to make it happen.

That means I’ve been waaaay more productive than ever to get everything done so I can totally unplug while we’re away.

Which brings me to today’s brand new episode of MarieTV.

Here’s the scene: you’re busy as all heck working your buns off.

Through your blood, sweat and tenacity — you’ve gained a lot of experience and expertise.  Things are really starting to come together.  Everyone you know is taking notice, but unfortunately…

You’re now drowning in constant requests from friends who want to “have coffee and pick your brain.”

But the truth is…
a. You don’t freakin’ have time for coffee right now.
b. You don’t want to have your brain picked.
c. And, if you did, you’d wanna get paid for it!

If you’re tired of ignoring these emails and feeling guilty about it, this episode of MarieTV is for you.

You’ll get three word-for-word scripts to help you kindly and elegantly navigate non-stop brain picking requests.

As always — I’d love to hear your take on this topic.

What’s your go to way to deal with people wanting to “grab a coffee” and/or pick your brain?

Have you ever been that person who’s asking to “brain pick” or grab coffee — and been told ‘no’ elegantly?

Leave a detailed comment below and let me know.

As always, thank you for reading, watching and contributing.

Baci e abbracci-
