005 How to Stop People Pleasing: Set Boundaries, Say No, and Rewire Your Nervous System


Listen Later

Are you exhausted from saying “yes” when you really mean “no”?
In this episode of The Mind Madam Podcast, Elizabeth breaks down the truth about people-pleasing — why it’s NOT your personality (it’s a survival pattern), how it quietly shapes your relationships, and the real reason setting boundaries feels so uncomfortable at first.

You’ll learn:

  • The hidden nervous system link behind people-pleasing

  • Why overexplaining, guilt, and resentment are symptoms — not flaws

  • How to stop abandoning yourself without swinging to “walls up” energy

  • The micro-step to start saying “no” with peace, not panic

If you’ve ever thought “I’m so low maintenance” (but secretly resent it), this episode will help you reclaim your voice — without burning down your relationships.

Next episode: We dive deeper into your body’s role in breaking this pattern — and why your body isn’t sabotaging you… it’s protecting you.
