We’ve all been told to “be nice.” But what happens when being nice turns into people-pleasing? When saying “yes” starts costing you your peace? When your kindness is mistaken for weakness?

In this episode, we break down the difference between genuine kindness and forced politeness, the dangers of being too nice, and how to set boundaries without feeling guilty. I’ll share personal stories, real-life examples, and practical strategies to help you protect your time, energy, and self-respect.

✨ What you’ll learn in this episode:
✔️ The difference between kindness and people-pleasing
✔️ Why being too nice can lead to burnout and toxic relationships
