In this episode, we break down why saying no feels so hard for people pleasers and Nice Guys, and why the fear of rejection is usually really a fear of disappointing others. You’ll learn how saying yes too often leads to burnout, resentment, codependent relationships, and a loss of self-respect — and how to start setting boundaries without blowing up your life. If you’ve ever worried that being assertive makes you selfish or “a bad person,” this conversation will help you rethink that pattern and start choosing yourself with more honesty.
