People-Pleasing: Why You Say Yes When You Mean 'Absolutely Not'


Listen Later

Be honest.

How many times have you said "sure, no problem" when your spirit was screaming "absolutely not"?


In this episode, we're talking about people-pleasing: why you do it, where it comes from, why "just set boundaries" isn't always helpful advice, and how trying to make everyone happy can leave you exhausted, resentful, and still not liked by everybody.


We'll explore approval addiction, fear of rejection, childhood conditioning, and the surprising reason your brain keeps choosing "yes" even when you desperately want to say "no."


In this episode:
• The paradox of people-pleasing
• Practical ways to start setting boundaries
• Learning to disappoint people without feeling guilty
