Have you ever heard yourself say yes before you’ve even felt what you actually want to say, and then later you feel it in your body: the tension, the heaviness, the irritation, the quiet resentment?

That is not you being “too nice”. That is people-pleasing, and it is costing you more than you realise.

In Episode 80 of The Billy Boss Show, Stop People-Pleasing and Start Self-Respecting (Without Guilt), Billy unpacks why women fall into this pattern, what sits underneath it, and how to start changing it this week with one simple tool: The Pause.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How to spot people-pleasing in the moment
  • The real fears underneath it: rejection, conflict, judgement, disappointing others, and losing connection
  • A simple boundary practice to create breathing space before you respond, without over-explaining
  • The self-respect check-in that changes your decisions: “If I say yes, will I respect myself afterwards?”
  • Why guilt often shows up when you start healing, and how to stay on your own side anyway

Tune in and give yourself a deep exhale. This episode will help you catch the moment you say yes out of fear, not truth, and practise one simple pause that brings you back to self-respect, clarity, and choice.

Ready for deeper support?
If this episode is touching something deeper, the part where you have been holding too much, carrying emotional weight, and losing yourself in overgiving, I want you to know there is support for you.

Release & Rise is an upcoming guided experience for women who are ready to stop living from fear-based yeses and start living from grounded self-trust. It is designed to help you release what you have been carrying, rebuild self-worth, strengthen boundaries, and rise into the version of you who no longer abandons herself to keep the peace.
