Empaths, Unlearning People Pleasing and Setting Boundaries

The Soft Life with Saddie Baddies

Featured in Apple Podcasts 2023 Women’s History Month Collection: A New Era.

Recovering people pleasers, unite! Today's topic is all about people pleasing - prioritizing others' desires, needs, and opinions over one's own, often at the cost of one's well-being or values. Here, we’ll be sharing signs and patterns of this behavior, its negative effects, and how it differs from being empathetic. We’re also talking about practical tips for setting boundaries and self-care, such as saying "no" firmly, avoiding over-explaining, and celebrating successes.

This episode is for you if:

1. you find yourself constantly putting others' needs and desires before your own
2. you’re struggling to say "no," and feeling overwhelmed and drained as a result
3. you're ready to learn how to set healthy boundaries, prioritize self-care, and develop a stronger sense of self rooted in awareness and compassion
