What happens when being “nice” starts costing you your peace? In this episode of The SHIFT Method Podcast, Lisa talks about people-pleasing, boundaries, guilt, self-abandonment, and what it really means to start choosing yourself. You’ll explore why saying no can feel so uncomfortable, how people-pleasing can become an automatic response, and the difference between being kind to others and consistently leaving yourself out of the equation. Lisa shares honest reflections about overexplaining, trying to keep the peace, worrying about disappointing people, and learning that someone else’s reaction does not automatically mean you made the wrong choice. This episode also looks at why guilt can show up when you begin setting boundaries, why peacekeeping is not always the same as peace, and how to start rebuilding trust with yourself one honest choice at a time. You’ll also be guided through Lisa’s Mindset Moment, Tea & Coffee Time with Lisa, The Science Behind the SHIFT, Story Time, Let’s Be Real, a journal prompt, The Pause Before Yes Challenge, Celebrate Your Wins, a weekly affirmation, and a Secret SHIFT to carry with you into the week. This week’s core message is simple: Choosing yourself is not selfish. It’s self-respect. Because you can be kind, loving, generous, and compassionate without abandoning yourself in the process. Real tools. Real SHIFTS. Real life. One small SHIFT at a time. 🌐 www.LisaIbanez.com 🎵 @SHIFTwithLisaibanez The information shared in this podcast is for educational and inspirational purposes only and is not intended as medical, psychological, or mental health advice.
