Ep 26. How to Stop People Pleasing (without feeling guilty!)

If you’ve ever said “yes” when deep down you knew you wanted to say “no”, this episode is for you.

Tracey and Scott unpack the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways people pleasing shows up, why it’s so hard to break, and the real cost it takes on your energy, health, and self-trust.

In this episode, we explore:

- The childhood conditioning that wires us to be “the nice one”

- Why people pleasing often masquerades as kindness

- The physical and emotional toll of saying yes when you mean no

- Tracey’s personal turning point in recognising her own people pleasing patterns

- How resentment quietly builds when we ignore our own needs

- Practical steps to begin setting boundaries without the guilt

If you’re ready to start honouring your own needs without feeling like a bad person, this conversation will give you both the insight and the encouragement to take that first step.
