What If We Stopped Being So « Nice » ? : Overcoming People-Pleasing

If you’ve ever felt like your life doesn't actually feel like your own life, this one’s for you. Today, we get super vulnerable about how we literally give away our power every single day (without realizing it) and start diving into setting boundaries in both our personal and professional life. Through my own stories and examples, not only do I share what my own people-pleasing behavior has looked like, but also offer practical tips, and scripts, from my own life to help you speak up, say no, and set boundaries politely using my 'Big Fig Sandwich Method.' 

In This Episode, You’ll Experience:

🤔 Questioning Life's Fulfillment: Reflecting on personal happiness despite outward success. 

😔 Consequences of People-Pleasing: Feeling empty and self-medicating. Not speaking up and giving away personal power. 

🚫 Examples of Not Setting Boundaries: Allowing others to take advantage. Not asking for what you want in simple situations. 

💼 Impact on Professional Life: Fear of firing or correcting team members. Allowing clients to overstep boundaries and receiving loads of non-paid work.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Personal Life Challenges: Balancing work and family responsibilities and how we feel guilty with our family because we don’t say no to others. 

🍔 The Big Fig Sandwich Method: Using gratitude (before and after) we set boundaries, so that it feels elegant when we do. 

Would you share your thoughts in the comments/reviews, and tell me how this episode made you think? I thrive on your thoughts and experiences in the comments and read every single one of them myself. How are you setting boundaries in your life and work? I’d love to hear from you.
