Description

Are you tired of people-pleasing, saying yes when your body is begging you to say no? In this episode of Journeys With My Body, we uncover the hidden cost of people-pleasing and why it isn’t kindness at all, but rather a survival response wired into your nervous system.

You’ll learn:

  • Why people-pleasing feels automatic and how it keeps you stuck in burnout and exhaustion.
  • The hidden toll of self-abandonment when you override your body’s no.
  • Simple somatic tools to break the cycle, including The Body Check, the Pause Before Yes, and the Micro-No Practice.
  • How saying no without guilt actually rebuilds your self-trust, strengthens your boundaries, and restores authentic freedom.

If you’ve ever wondered how to stop people-pleasing, set healthy boundaries, or escape the exhaustion of always saying yes, this episode will give you practical steps to reclaim your energy and align with your body’s wisdom.
