I had one of the worst years of my life last year because I couldn’t say no..” She expressed regret for not turning down opportunities and commitments that ultimately led to burnout, including her engagement to Ryan Taylor.

I didn’t say no to a fiancé I should have said no to..” DJ Cuppy recounts juggling multiple responsibilities, from hosting the BBC breakfast show to DJing, wedding planning and pursuing studies at Oxford UniversityThe heavy workload took a toll on her health and highlighted the importance of prioritizing self-care.
