SHE with Jordan Lee Dooley

How to Set Boundaries as a People Pleaser


Listen Later

“Okay, sure, I can get that work done tonight.”

“I can babysit - that’s not a problem.”

“Of course I can help out with that. I’ll just move some things around.”

“That’s my one night off, but I can volunteer.”

Have you ever found yourself saying “yes” to something, even when you’re already at your capacity?

If you have a big heart for helping others and making a difference, you’ve probably found yourself falling into the trap of people pleasing.

Maybe setting boundaries makes you feel selfish or maybe saying “no” makes you feel like you’re letting people down.

In this episode, Jordan digs deep into the lies we believe about people pleasing and how to stop trying to make everyone happy.

Whether you’re a recovering people pleaser, or an active one, this episode will offer you lots of tips on how to set the boundaries you need.

Tune in to learn:

  • Why trying to make everyone happy is not the secret to being liked by others
  • Healthy ways to communicate your boundaries to others
  • How to say no in a way that’s productive and kind
  • Why boundaries matter
