Do You Want to Stop Being A People Pleaser?|317

from Fit Girl Magic | Healthy Living For Women Over 40 · host Kim Barnes Jefferson

Do you have the syndrome? You know… the one where someone asks, "Hey, can you make the homecoming banner?" and before your brain or calendar catches up, your mouth says, "Of course!" Then five minutes later you remember… you've got a major deadline, three other commitments, and exactly zero extra hours this week. This week, I'm sitting down with therapist (and fellow recovering good girl) Diane Lang to expose what's really behind that knee-jerk yes—and why "being helpful" often just means putting yourself dead last. Saying yes to everyone else isn't what makes you valuable. In fact, the moment you stop making everyone's emergency your problem, you gain more respect and more time for the things you actually care about. We're breaking down: • Why "selfish" self-care is actually the least selfish thing you can do • How to drop the guilt without when saying no • The sneaky ways control addiction keeps you stuck • And how to make "no" your new favorite word (without the apology tour) Listen now and start building a life that doesn't require you to earn rest, justify your boundaries, or explain why your answer is no.
