In this episode I'm joined by Eve Hall and we talk about where people pleasing actually starts and how early messages shape your ability to say no later in life.
We cover:
- how being taught to “be nice” can override your natural boundaries
- why forcing kids to hug/kiss people isn’t as harmless as it seems
- mixed messages around body autonomy and consent
- how this shows up in adult relationships and communication
- why saying no can feel so uncomfortable… especially in intimate situations
- the link between silence, avoidance, and disconnection
