Are you constantly saying "yes" when you want to say "no"? Do you find yourself exhausted from prioritizing everyone else's needs while neglecting your own? In this deeply personal episode, I’ll be sharing my journey of breaking free from the people-pleasing patterns that kept me disconnected from my authentic self.

Join us as we explore the roots of people pleasing, especially for women of color who've been conditioned to put others first, and discover practical strategies to reclaim your power. You'll learn why your boundaries aren't selfish, how to recognize the physical signs of people pleasing in your body, and concrete steps to start honoring your needs without the guilt.

Whether you're just recognizing these patterns or actively working to change them, this conversation offers both validation and actionable tools to help you rebuild a relationship with yourself based on genuine self-respect rather than external validation.

This episode is for everyone who's ready to stop shrinking themselves to fit others' expectations and start creating a life that honors their own voice first.
