If you’ve been saying "yes" when your soul’s been screaming "no," this episode is your wake-up call. Keshia Rice dives into what people-pleasing really is (hint: it’s not kindness—it’s fear), why it’s keeping you stuck in toxic relationship patterns, and how to finally break free.

Whether it’s in your dating life, your friendships, or even family—people-pleasing will drain your peace and disconnect you from your purpose. In this episode, Keisha shares faith-based, real-talk strategies for healing and reclaiming your voice.

You’ll Learn:

• The connection between people-pleasing and childhood survival

• How the "good girl" conditioning shows up in your dating life

• Why boundaries are biblical (and powerful)

• The "solar system" method for deciding who gets access to you

• Why protecting your peace is an act of divine obedience

Plus: → What Jesus taught us about saying "no" without guilt → How to stop being emotional rehab for emotionally unavailable people → Finding your support system (even if you have to build it from scratch)
