Episode Synopsis

Ever found yourself saying “yes” when your whole body was screaming “no”? Or volunteering to help when no one even asked — only to wonder where your weekend went? That’s people-pleasing, and while it might look like kindness on the surface, it often comes at the cost of your time, energy, and peace.In this episode, I open up about my own journey with people-pleasing, why we do it in the first place, and the toll it quietly takes on us. We’ll dig into the psychology behind it, how to recognize it in your everyday life, and most importantly — practical ways to start saying no without guilt.This isn’t about becoming selfish — it’s about reclaiming your voice, setting boundaries, and learning that you don’t have to be liked by everyone to be deeply loved by the right ones.
