Have you been saying yes to everyone else while quietly saying no to yourself?
In this episode, I break down the psychology behind people pleasing, explain why it's actually a survival response your nervous system learned in childhood, and reveal how the little-known "fawn" response keeps you trapped.
I'll walk you through a simple three-step process to stop abandoning yourself, set healthier boundaries, and become kind by choice instead of by fear.
