Have you ever helped someone and then felt tired, hurt, or resentful afterward? Maybe you’ve wondered: Am I being kind… or am I just scared to say no? Why do I feel guilty when I speak up for myself? How do I keep my peace without feeling selfish? This episode is your answer.
Today, I share a very personal story about a videographer I hired—and how that one experience taught me what happens when you ignore your body, your gut, and your peace in order to be “the good girl.”
We talk about:
- The root of people-pleasing
- How childhood conditioning and family pressure shaped our patterns
- Why so many high-achieving women still feel unseen
- And how real self-love gives you the strength to set boundaries with grace
You’ll also learn five practical tools I use with my clients to stop over-giving and start honoring your needs with love, not fear.
You’re not too sensitive. You’re not too much. You’re just used to silencing yourself so others feel comfortable. That ends today.
