In this solo episode of Similarly Different, I’m talking about the lifelong lesson of saying no without guilt, and the real work it takes to let go of people-pleasing tendencies.If you’ve ever felt the weight of being misunderstood, feared disappointing others, or constantly overcommitted to avoid uncomfortable conversations, this one’s for you! I open up about the messy middle of learning to set boundaries, why I used to say yes out of fear, and how protecting your peace isn’t selfish... it’s self-respect.We also hear from a listener who asked about how to turn down a second date without ghosting or feeling like the bad guy. Spoiler: Honoring your gut is not mean, it’s necessary!✨ Let me know in the comments: Where in your life do you need to say no more often?🎧 Listen if you’ve ever struggled with:Saying no without over explainingPeople-pleasing and burnoutGuilt for protecting your peaceFeeling responsible for others’ emotionsSetting boundaries with friends, family, or work🔔 Don’t forget:✔️ Subscribe for weekly episodes ✔️ Leave a rating & review (it helps more than you know!) ✔️ Drop a comment — I always read them✔️ Tag me in your stories @similarlydifferentpod — I’ll repost! 💬📲 Let’s stay connected:Instagram: @similarlydifferentpodTikTok: @similarlydifferentpodSubmit a 'Similarly Curious' question: https://www.youandmemedia.co/similarlycurious
