114 | Why Setting Boundaries Feels Impossible (You are NOT Just a People Pleaser)
from THE RESILIENT WORKING MUM, Stress Management, Time Management, Boundaries, Work Life Balance, Mom Guilt, Burnout, Resilience, Productivity · host Charlotte Haggie
You know those times when you promise yourself, “Next time, I’ll say no”…but then the request comes, your chest tightens, your brain scrambles for a “good reason,” and before you know it, you’ve said yes again! If you’re a high-achieving working mum who feels stressed, overwhelmed, and exhausted from constantly being “needed”, this episode will bring you clarity and relief. Boundaries aren’t hard because you’re weak. They are hard because your brain is wired for connection and our culture rewards overfunctioning. In this episode, I unpack the neuroscience of saying no, the false identity patterns that hijack your boundaries (hello Good Girl, Achiever, and People Pleaser), and why resilience is the missing link that makes calm, clear boundaries feel natural, not nerve-wracking!
