How often do you say no?

In this episode, I unpack the beautiful mess that is boundary-setting—with stories, psychology, and a touch of Brexit. This episode dives deep into what it really means to assert your needs.

Boundaries aren’t about building walls—they’re more like installing a front door with a lock you actually use. We explore why people-pleasing kills self-respect, how resentment creeps in when you’re too “nice,” and why your future depends on the limits you’re willing to draw today.

What you’ll take away:

  • 10 signs of poor boundaries
  • How to spot a weak boundary before it drains your energy
  • Why saying no can be the kindest thing you do
  • You teach people how to treat you by what you tolerate
  • How to identify emotional manipulation in everyday relationships
  • A quadrant model that makes difficult conversations easier

Listen now if you’re ready to stop being agreeable and start being respected.
