People Pleasing #1: You Don't Need a Reason to Say No

Have you ever noticed that you feel like you need a really, really good reason to say no?

Like donating-a-kidney-level good.

Because somehow, "I don't want to" doesn't seem like enough.

In this episode, we're talking about why so many of us treat other people's wants like they're our obligations, and why that habit is quietly draining our time, energy, and nervous system. 

In this episode of Climb Your Mountain, I'll share four mindset shifts that will help you stop people pleasing, say no without making up elaborate excuses, and finally believe that protecting your time isn't selfish. It's part of being the person you're here to be.

If you've ever said yes with resentment, rehearsed fake excuses in the shower, or spent way too much energy worrying that someone might think you're mean... this one's for you.
