    How to Stop People Pleasing and Start Setting Boundaries

    Episode 8: Hi! We're back after a week break. In this episode, we’re talking about how to stop people pleasing and start setting boundaries as an adult, especially when you grew up feeling like you had to be easy, likeable, and make everyone proud. I’m getting into why boundaries can feel so uncomfortable at first, how guilt shows up when you’re used to over-explaining yourself, and why being kind doesn’t mean abandoning your own needs. Let’s figure out what you’re okay with being disliked for, and building the quiet confidence to let people have their opinions without letting it control you.
