    Why Saying Yes Was Hurting Me| Jean Tien | PART 2

    Send us a text In this Season 4 continuation, Jen Simpson sits with Jean Tien to explore the hidden cost of over-responsibility and what happens when saying yes becomes a survival strategy instead of a choice. This conversation goes deeper into how people-pleasing, blurred boundaries, and self-abandonment quietly shape our leadership, relationships, and legacy. Together, they unpack how learning to say no is not rejection, but protection—and how reclaiming self-trust is essential for sustainable leadership and generational change. This episode explores: 1. Over-responsibility as a learned survival pattern 2. The emotional and relational cost of always saying yes 3. Boundaries as an act of self-trust, not selfishness 4. Competence versus confidence in leadership 5. Why self-abandonment feels normal until it doesn’t 6. Choosing presence, peace, and alignment over approval This episode continues the foundation of Season 4: Legacy by Choice. Chosen, Not Inherited. Because legacy is not only about what we build. It’s about what we stop carrying forward. 🟢 Subscribe for weekly conversations on healing, leadership, and intentional legacy 🟢 Share this episode with someone learning to choose themselves 💬 Reflection question: Where are you saying yes out of habit instead of alignment—and what would it look like to choose differently? Saying no is not selfish. It’s how we protect our life and our legacy. 🎙 Subscribe to the Life’s Deceit Podcast and turn on notifications so you never miss a conversation that invites truth, healing, and intentional change. ✨ Connect with Jean Tien Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeanftien/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/jean-tien YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jeanftien ✨ Connect with Me (Jen Simpson) Website: jenellesimpson.com TikTok: @lifesdeceitpodcast Instagram: @lifesdeceit Jen’s Instagram: @lifes_deceit ✨ Join Our Communities The MIRROR Method Facebook Group Roots of Generational Legacy Group 📩 Business Inquiries: info@jenellesimpson.com Support the show Join Jen Simpson on a journey of personal growth and empowerment.

    The Cycles That Don’t Look Like Trauma (But Still Shape Generations)

    Send us a text Life’s Deceit — Season 4: Legacy by Choice Not all trauma is loud. Some of it lives quietly beneath the surface, showing up as silence, over functioning, carrying everything alone, and inherited beliefs we were never taught to question. These patterns often go unnamed, yet they shape how we see ourselves, how we lead, how we love, and what we pass on. In this grounding Season 4 conversation, Jen Simpson sits with Jean Tien to explore the subtle cycles that influence our identity, leadership, finances, relationships, and legacy without ever being labeled as trauma. Together, they unpack the quiet patterns we normalize and the unseen costs they carry across generations. This episode explores: The difference between visible trauma and quiet cycles Identity beyond titles, roles, and achievement Over responsibility as a form of self abandonment Inherited money beliefs and scarcity patterns Competence versus confidence Intuition as a legacy skill What silence actually costs us and our children This episode lays the foundation for Season 4: Legacy by Choice. Chosen, Not Inherited. Because legacy is not only about what we survive. It is about what we choose to stop carrying forward. 🟢 Subscribe for weekly episodes on healing, identity, and intentional legacy. 🟢 Share this with someone who is breaking cycles quietly. 💬 Reflection question: What is one quiet cycle you’re choosing to interrupt, not for recognition, but for legacy? “This is not the year I inherited. This is the year I chose.” 🎙 Subscribe to the Life’s Deceit Podcast and turn on notifications so you never miss a conversation that matters.

    The Year I Chose Legacy

    Send us a text Legacy by Choice, Chosen Not Inherited There comes a year when surviving is no longer enough. A year when healing feels too quiet. A year when repeating cycles feels more dangerous than breaking them. In this Season 4 opener of Life’s Deceit, Jen Simpson draws a line in the sand, inviting listeners into a deeper conversation about legacy, healing, and intentional change. In this episode, we explore: *The difference between survival and legacy *How inherited trauma silently shapes our lives *Why healing without structure delays true change *The emotional and spiritual cost of choosing differently *What we pass down when we refuse to heal Legacy isn’t just money, success, or titles. It’s how our nervous systems regulate. It’s how love feels in our homes. It’s how conflict, truth, and safety are modeled. This episode introduces Season 4: Legacy by Choice, Chosen Not Inherited, a season about breaking cycles, standing in the mirror, and building a future that doesn’t repeat the past. If this episode stirred something in you, it’s because you’re standing at a threshold—not of perfection, but of choice. 🎧 Listen with intention. Reflect honestly. Choose legacy.

    Hiding My Story Kept Me Stuck in the Dark

    Send us a text In this powerful episode of the Life’s Deceit Podcast, we sit down with Stephanie Strickland to explore what happens when silence, shame, and survival collide and what it truly takes to step into healing. Stephanie shares her journey of becoming a teenage mother, spending decades in an abusive marriage, and living behind a mask out of fear of judgment and rejection. Her story is one of surrender, truth, and transformation. Stephanie opens up about how hiding her story kept her disconnected from herself, from God, and from authentic relationships, and how owning her truth became the key to freedom. This raw and deeply honest conversation reminds us that healing does not begin when our past disappears, but when we stop being ashamed of it. If you’ve ever felt trapped by your past, afraid to speak your truth, or weighed down by silence, this episode offers hope, clarity, and permission to let go. You are not broken. You are becoming. 🟣 Please share this episode with someone who needs to be reminded that their story does not disqualify them from peace.
