Why does being so NICE have to be so FRUSTRATING? After all, you do for them. So why don't they do the same for you? You say "yes" when work is short staffed, you volunteer for the things no one wants to do, you help, you run, you go, you drive, you offer. DOESN'T ANYONE SEE THAT?! 

Maybe it's frustrating... because you've been lying. Ouch? But yeah. You've been saying "yes" when you mean "no." Your "kindness" is actually someone begging to be seen. Your "doing" is actually investing in hope that they'll do the same for you. But this obligation is tired. And resentment is festering. And it means you're living your life from the hope of someone else's response, rather than from honoring your own authenticity.  When you do that, your spirit and body will tell you.  It shows up as heartburn, IBS, gut issues, eczema, teeth clenching and bruxism.

Life Coach Kelsie Bentley was there herself. After burn out depression and persistent heartburn, she realized she need a change.

Now she's helping others do the same. In this episode she shares why women without children are frequent people-pleasers, how to determine if you really want to do what you say "yes" to, and how to draw new boundaries if you don't.
