69. Don't Trust Your Gut? Why People Pleasers Struggle to Say “I Changed My Mind” | How to Start Speaking Up for Yourself
Manage episode 499516208 series 3438737
Ever said 'yes' to something and then felt guilty when you needed or wanted to change your mind -- even when it no longer felt right? This exact thing happened to me recently.
In this episode, I share why people pleasers (even recovering ones like me) struggle to change our mind and say no when we already said yes, how pushing people manipulate your guilt, and why changing your mind and trusting your gut is so important for your inner peace and self respect.
If you’ve ever stayed in a situation just to avoid disappointing someone else, this episode is for you. I spent years believing that being dependable meant sticking it out, even if it cost me my peace. But keeping your word at the expense of your well-being isn’t integrity—it’s self-abandonment.
In this episode, I share the powerful shifts that helped me stop overriding my gut, let go of guilt, and start honoring what’s true for me. We’ll talk about:
- how people-pleasing keeps you from changing your mind,
- why changing your mind isn’t flaky, and
- how to confidently say no even when someone is guilt-tripping you.
