The Power of Disappointing People: Why It’s a Sign You’re Healing


Listen Later

Have you ever felt guilty for letting someone down—even when you were just protecting your peace? In this episode, we’re unpacking why disappointing others is actually one of the strongest signs that you're healing. We’ll dive into how people-pleasing keeps you stuck, why unmet expectations aren’t your responsibility, and what it really means when someone says, “You’ve changed.” (Spoiler: that’s the point.)

I’ll break down the psychology behind this shift, what to expect when you start setting boundaries, and how to stop making guilt your compass. You’ll walk away with a new lens on your healing journey—and permission to disappoint whoever needs disappointing.

Because healing isn’t about being liked. It’s about being free.
