EPISODE SUMMARY
Why does saying no often feel harder than saying yes? Why can setting a simple boundary leave us feeling guilty, selfish, or afraid of disappointing someone?
In this episode of Meditations & Wisdom, Andrew Neel explores the psychology of boundaries, people pleasing, and the hidden beliefs that make it difficult to protect our time and energy. Together, we'll reflect on why saying yes too often can quietly disconnect us from ourselves, and how learning to say no is not about pushing people away, but about creating healthier relationships with both others and ourselves.
If you've ever struggled to put your own needs first or found yourself agreeing to things you didn't truly want, this episode offers thoughtful reflections and practical insights to help you set boundaries with greater confidence, honesty, and self-respect.
