People Pleasing Is Exhausting pt. 2

After our first People Pleasing episode unexpectedly turned into a two-parter, we're back to finish the conversation. In this episode, we dive deeper into boundaries, guilt, avoiding conflict, and the pressure of constantly worrying about disappointing other people. We talk about why saying "no" can feel so uncomfortable, how people-pleasing can leave you emotionally drained, and the challenge of putting yourself first without feeling guilty. If you've ever said "it's fine" when it definitely wasn't, apologized for things that weren't your fault, or put everyone else's needs before your own, this one's for you.
