Sometimes we say yes when we really mean no—not because we want to, but because we’re afraid not to. In this episode, Leah unpacks the emotional toll of people-pleasing, unpacks the psychology behind self-abandonment, and shares a personal story of what changed when she started honoring her no. Consider this One Question: What do I keep saying yes to that I don't actually want?
This is a reflection for anyone who’s ever said yes out of guilt, fear, or habit—and is ready to start saying yes to themselves instead.
Includes practical reflection questions, nervous system awareness, and a gentle reminder: your time and energy matter, too.
