Are you constantly saying “yes” when you really want to say “no”?
In this episode, Chelsea and Mike get honest about people-pleasing, the “eldest daughter” martyr mindset, and how overstuffed calendars and invisible expectations quietly drain your marriage and family life.
Together, they share how learning to set boundaries, stop overscheduling, and get clear on your values (instead of everyone else’s rules) can completely change the tone of your home. You’ll hear real stories about:
Why saying no feels impossible (and why it matters for your marriage)
How filling every blank space on your calendar sabotages connection
What happens when you stop living by other people’s rules and start living by your family values
Simple practices that help couples create more rest, joy, and clarity
If you’ve ever felt stretched thin, stuck in “good mom” or “good spouse” mode, or unsure how to align as a family, this episode will give you a refreshing and practical perspective.
