Are you tired of saying yes when you really want to say no? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with leadership coach Robynne Weaver to explore the hidden costs of people pleasing—and why so many women, especially in midlife, struggle with it.Robynne shares her own journey from the high-pressure events industry to coaching, where she now helps women recognize when people pleasing, perfectionism, and codependency are leading to burnout, resentment, and self-abandonment. Together, we unpack why women are socially conditioned to put everyone else’s needs first, how “being nice” is different from true kindness, and why discomfort is the currency of growth.You’ll learn:What people pleasing really is (and what it’s not).The surprising role control plays in the cycle.Why women in leadership roles set the tone for healthy boundaries at work.Simple, practical tools to stop overcommitting—like Robynne’s rule of “no immediate yeses.”How to shift from rescuing and overdoing into authentic, assertive communication.If you’ve ever felt resentful after saying yes, worried about upsetting others, or stuck in the “good girl” role, this episode will give you the awareness and tools to start breaking free from the habit of people pleasing so you can reclaim your confidence, energy, and joy.Download Robynne's free guideBreak the Habit of People Pleasing Course
