How often do you say "yes" when every cell inside you yells "NO"?

In this episode, I'm talking about the mindset change necessary to get out of people-pleasing cycles and start choosing ourselves more often. As women, we are conditioned to become selfless caregivers who put everyone else's interests before our own, ensuring everyone has what they need when needed. These unhealthy societal norms, if reproduced, generate chronic people-pleasing, which develops into low self-esteem, burnout, and poor physical and mental health.

But here is where it gets tricky: as entrepreneurs whose business is being at the service of our audience's needs and expectations, how can we find the balance between being at service without becoming a hostage of it?

Throughout this episode, you'll learn practical tips and quick exercises you can add to your routine to avoid falling into a people-pleasing cycle. You'll hear about people-pleasing negative impact, the high cost you pay for saying "yes" too often, and the importance of setting healthy boundaries.

Additionally, we'll discuss the ultimate self-care commitment, why putting other people's needs before our own erodes our self-worth, the importance of self-compassion, and much more.
