Ep. 82 - "Thanks for always saying YES!" "I can always count on you!" Have folks said this to you multiple times? Honey, you might be a people pleaser, but no judgment here, ok? You're not alone. Welcome to being a human in a society that rewards being overextended and overcommitted. In a world where we place so much weight on our ability to show up for others and fear being perceived as not a team player or, selfish. Tune into this real and practical episode where we share a few things on:

• -How to be direct and kind when you say no
• -The cost of people pleasing
• -How boundaries bring abundance and aligned opportunities

and so much more!
