Ever feel like you're always putting everyone else's needs before your own? Or maybe say 'yes' to things you'd rather not do, just to keep the peace or to be liked? We've been there too. Join us as we get personal and share how we grappled with this incredibly common yet hardly discussed issue of people-pleasing. We shed light on how our upbringings in strict households, where affection was conditional and scarce, compelled us to constantly prove worthiness for love. But here's the thing, we learnt the hard way that the love and attention we were doling out to everyone else, we deserved the very same. 

But changing lifelong habits isn't easy, is it? That's where setting boundaries comes in. Learning to say 'no' was one of the toughest yet most liberating lessons we learnt. We unpack how saying 'no' can actually aid in better time management and keep burnout at bay. And yes, we talk about self-care too. Because asking for help doesn't equate to weakness. Quite the contrary, it's an indication of strength. So, if you're tired of constantly pleasing others at the cost of your own well-being, tune in for a candid conversation around people-pleasing, self-worth, and the power of saying 'no'.
