297. When You’re Done People-Pleasing

About this episode

Tamara discusses the challenges of setting boundaries after years of people-pleasing and offers guidance on navigating the associated guilt and discomfort.

Why does setting boundaries feel so uncomfortable after years of saying yes to everything? In this episode, I talk about what it actually looks like to start establishing boundaries after living in people-pleasing patterns, and why it can feel so hard even when you know it’s necessary. I share how to navigate the guilt, the discomfort, and the identity shift that comes with choosing honesty over approval. This episode is for anyone learning to stop overextending themselves and start showing up in a way that’s sustainable, healthy, and true.
