I Disappoint People Every Day (And I’m Okay With It)
🖤 Episode Description:
In this raw solo episode, I share a deeply personal truth: I disappoint people every single day. And not because I’m careless or unkind—but because I’ve stopped abandoning myself to make others more comfortable.
As a recovering people pleaser, I know what it feels like to panic at the thought of upsetting someone. To over-explain, to bend over backwards, to feel responsible for everyone’s feelings except my own.
But here’s what I’ve learnt… people pleasing isn’t a personality trait. It’s a survival strategy. And it’s keeping you exhausted, disconnected, and resentful.
In this ep, I unpack:
How to know if you’re people pleasing
Journal prompts & truth bombs to break the habit
Why saying “no” is the ultimate self-love
What happens when you stop over-explaining
How I balance motherhood, business, and boundaries
And the game-changing mindset shift that let me reclaim my life.
Let this episode be your permission slip to disappoint others… and choose yourself.
Because you can’t live your truth and please everyone at the same time.
