Stop Paying the People-Pleasing Tax: High-Performance Boundaries Without Burnout (with Sarah Bryer)
What if the reason you feel drained isn’t burnout at all but a lack of boundaries that match your ambition?
In this episode of The Aligned Advantage™ with Felecia Etienne, I sit down with boundary expert Sarah Bryer to redefine what it means to protect your energy as a high achiever.
We pull back the curtain on the “people-pleasing tax,” the invisible cost of saying yes when your nervous system is screaming no. Sarah shares language that lands instead of fights, scripts for follow-through when lines get crossed, and the one habit that turns your calendar into a clarity tool instead of a trap.
If you’re tired of running on overdrive and ready to lead from alignment —not exhaustion, this conversation will help you build boundaries that amplify your focus and your freedom.
Here’s what we dive into:
- The hidden “people-pleasing tax”costing your energy and confidence
- Practical I-statements that reduce defensiveness and create calm clarity
- How to set realistic consequences and actually follow through
- Time blocking as a boundary for deep work and mental white space
- The link between aligned boundaries, nervous-system regulation, and sustainable success
This isn’t a pep talk about saying no, it’s a blueprint for becoming the kind of leader who protects her peace and her power.
