If you’ve ever said yes to something you didn’t want to do just to avoid disappointing someone, this episode is for you.

I’m joined by Michelle Gauthier, a life coach and host of the Overwhelmed Working Woman podcast, for a real conversation about people pleasing. We talk about why it’s so hard to say no, how it shows up in ways you might not even notice, and what to do when you’re tired of stretching yourself too thin.

Michelle shares her Love and Fit Test, a simple two-question tool you can use anytime to check in with yourself before committing to something. If you’re ready to protect your time and energy without the guilt, this is the mindset shift you’ve been looking for.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

  • What people pleasing really looks like
  • The two-question Love and Fit Test you can use right away
  • How to say no without overexplaining
  • Why shorter responses are often more respectful
  • What starts to change when you make choices that actually fit your life
