Are you constantly saying “yes” when your soul is screaming “no”? In this solo episode of The Monie Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the most draining habits so many of us carry: people-pleasing.
From burning out in silence to losing ourselves in the name of keeping others happy, I’m talking about the real cost of this behavior—and the journey of unlearning it. I share personal stories, hard truths, a few laughs, and practical tools that have helped me reclaim my time, energy, and peace.
If you’ve ever struggled with boundaries, felt guilty for choosing yourself, or found yourself performing for acceptance, this one’s for you. Let this be your reminder that saying “no” can be an act of love—and that your worth has never been tied to your ability to please others.
💬 Let’s talk about:
• Why people-pleasing isn’t the same as kindness
• The toll it takes on your mind, body, and soul
• My turning point and what I’m doing differently
• Boundaries, boldness, and building a life that feels good inside
✨ Plus: A powerful “Good Things Are Coming” segment to pour into your spirit.
