Ep 129: Are You TOO NICE for Your Own Good?! (ft. Code Raid's Siyu)

About this episode

This episode explores the concept of being a doormat and the importance of setting healthy boundaries through discussions inspired by a Reddit guide.

Inspired by a Reddit guide titled “How to Not Be a Doormat: A Guide to Defining Your Wants and Needs, Setting Boundaries, and Adopting Vulnerable Communication,” this episode explores whether we’re really just being pushovers — or if something deeper is at play. We unpack what it truly means to be a “doormat,” what healthy boundaries actually look like, and apply these ideas to classic Reddit scenarios to spark honest reflection and growth.
