In this episode of The Happya Life Podcast, I’m speaking directly to the givers, the ones who say yes, who show up, who keep the peace even when it costs them their own wellbeing.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for putting yourself first, this one’s for you.

We’re diving deep into the roots of people-pleasing, not as a flaw, but as a survival pattern. We’ll explore how over-giving often starts in childhood, how guilt is not a sign you’re selfish but a signal you’re doing something new, and how to begin setting boundaries without betraying your kindness.

This isn’t about swinging from selfless to selfish. It’s about learning to choose you without losing what makes you caring and connected.

You’ll hear:

  • Why people-pleasing becomes identity
  • How to pause before a yes and sit with discomfort
  • Small steps to reclaim your voice and values
  • Why boundaries are an act of self-respect, not rejection

If you’re tired of disappearing in your own life, and ready to stop editing yourself to keep everyone else comfortable, this episode is your gentle call home.
