When Being the Chill Person Backfires

from LOUD & CLEAR Hosted by Jamel Swinton

Sometimes being easygoing can turn into everybody assuming you’re okay with everything. In this episode of Loud & Clear, I’m talking about what happens when being the “chill” friend, coworker, or person in the relationship starts working against you. From constantly adjusting and giving people grace to finally realizing that being understanding does not mean being available for nonsense. At some point, “it’s cool” stops being true. This one is about boundaries, people-pleasing, knowing when to speak up, and learning the difference between being easygoing and being easy to take advantage of. Honest. Intentional. Evolving.
