People-Pleasing: What We'd Do If We Were 10% Less Polite
What would change if you stayed kind, stayed thoughtful, and just dialed your politeness down by a very manageable 10%?In this episode, we get into the moments where “being polite” starts running your calendar, your energy, and your patience, and how easy it is to say yes out of habit instead of desire. We talk about the invites you accept because it feels expected, the showers that pile up until your weekends feel booked by tradition, the phone calls you watch come in while your whole body votes for text, and the classic move of escorting people all the way to the door like you’re hosting a formal event instead of living in your own house.It’s a mother-daughter riff that stays honest and funny while we sort through what politeness actually means, what it costs when it turns into auto-yes, and how one small shift can give you more room to breathe without turning you into a snob.
