March 5, 2026 • 42 mins

Saying Yes to Yourself: Why “Being Nice” Is Hurting Your Relationships

March 3, 2026 • 30 mins
At some point in motherhood, so many of us stop saying yes to ourselves. Not just to the girls’ night or the bubble bath. But to our feelings. To our opinions. To the quiet voice inside that says, “This doesn’t feel right.” We tell ourselves we’re being nice. We’re keeping the peace. We’re being the bigger person. But what if that “niceness” is slowly costing us our identity and our closest relationships? In this episode, I’m s...
