The people-pleasing trap

Please please please, stop pleasing people at the expense of your own happiness. This time, we’ll dive into what could potentially make a person become a people pleaser, those who go out of their way to make others feel good even when it means sacrificing their own boundaries. We’ll chat about things to reflect on; deciding who deserves to experience our kindness and care. Hopefully, we will all be more mindful of how others treat us as much as we want to treat others kindly.

"You don't look friendly" - The RBF effect

This episode dives into the comment of looking like an unfriendly person, mostly due to our neutral facial expression that is upsetting-the RBF, aka resting bitch face.

This episode will help you out on what to do if you have rbf and also what to do when you see others with rbf.

Giving yourself a chance

In this first episode, I open up about how we should all give ourselves the chance to try something new. I'll also chit chat a little about the inspiration behind the podcast but mostly this is where I talk about taking the chance to explore and learn more about ourselves. Hopefully, this will reach those who may need the encouragement to get out of your comfort zone and just believe in yourself.
