Ever catch yourself asking, “IDK, are you mad at me?” Welcome to episode 8, where I get real about my lifelong relationship with people-pleasing. From saying yes before I even thought about it, to unpaid commitments I regretted, to buying a book called How to Say No back in 2008—I’ve lived the cycle.
In this episode, I unpack how fear of rejection kept me agreeable, how faith and duty complicated my yes, and how a fallout with a friend finally flipped the switch from compulsion to choice. If you’ve ever struggled with boundaries, resentment, or the pressure to be liked, this one’s for you.
Listen in as we talk people-pleasing, rejection, boundaries, integrity, and learning how to finally say no.
