Episode notes

Do you find it hard to say no? Do you worry about disappointing people, avoid conflict or put everyone else’s needs before your own?

In this episode of Untangled, we explore why people pleasing is about so much more than simply being “nice”. We will untangle where it comes from, why it can leave you feeling exhausted and disconnected from yourself and how small changes can help you start putting your own needs back on the list.

Because setting boundaries isn’t selfish, it’s part of taking care of yourself!
