In today’s episode, I am bringing you a conversation that so many introverts have been craving but rarely talk about honestly. We always dive deep into business and strategy here, but this time we are talking about the life stuff. The energy drains, the people pleasing, the boundary setting and the moments where we forget that we are human.

I am joined by Nick Bognar, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist from Pasadena who also teaches other therapists how to build their practices online. Nick came ready with real tools that you can start using today so maybe you do not need an emergency therapy session this week.

We unpack what boundaries actually mean, why “no” is not the whole story, and how boundaries can be loving, kind and a gift to the people around you. Nick shares how to prevent resentment from building, how to shift out of people pleasing and how authenticity makes relationships stronger, not harder.

We also talk about humanity. The messy moments, the blanking out, the bloopers and how showing your real self creates deeper and healthier connection.

If you have ever said yes when you did not want to, avoided conflict or struggled to protect your own energy, this episode will bring clarity and comfort.
