Are you stuck in a cycle of being “nice” that secretly drains your energy as a Highly Sensitive Person?
If you're constantly overwhelmed from trying to please others while suppressing your true needs, you're not alone. Many HSPs struggle with setting boundaries without feeling like they’re being unkind. But what if your people-pleasing isn’t actually kindness—and what if real compassion starts with inner clarity?
In this episode, you’ll discover:
Why the thought “I need to be nice” may be fueling your stress and holding you back from true connection.
How to gently work with the stuck part of you that fears saying no or taking up space—without shaming it.
A guided inner work practice using the Work of Byron Katie to transform emotional patterns from within.
Listen now to reconnect with your authentic kindness—and set boundaries without losing your compassionate heart.
