Episode 05 – The Yes Trap: When Being Liked Costs Too Much
Do you find yourself saying yes before you’ve even thought it through — only to regret it later?
In this episode of More Than a Type, hosts Amira Romanowski and Carol Edwin unpack the “Yes Trap” — the pattern so many women (especially those with an I-style in DISC) fall into when they crave connection and fear disappointing others.
Together, Amira and Carol explore:
Why saying yes feels good in the moment, but costly later.
How I-style women often get labelled as “flaky” — and why that isn’t the whole truth.
Real-life stories of women stretched too thin by automatic yeses.
The difference between unresourceful “yeses” and resourceful, intentional commitments.
Practical tools to pause, check reality, and choose a yes that’s aligned with your values.
💎 Because every time you say yes to someone else, you’re also saying no to something else. The power lies in choosing wisely.
