About this listen

Do you find yourself constantly saying yes when you really want to say no? Are you exhausted from putting everyone else’s needs ahead of your own? In this episode of The Fusion Flow Podcast, we’re uncovering the truth about people-pleasing—why it happens, how it holds you back, and, most importantly, how to break free.


Join me, Erica Carter-Folk, as we explore the root causes of people-pleasing, from childhood conditioning to the nervous system’s ‘fawn’ response. Together, we’ll dive into the societal expectations that reinforce these patterns—especially for women—and discover how people-pleasing isn’t about kindness; it’s about fear.


This episode is packed with transformational insights and practical steps to help you reclaim your power. You’ll learn how to:


Identify and honor your own needs.

Say no without guilt and set boundaries that protect your energy.

Reframe rejection as redirection and embrace your worth.

Validate yourself instead of seeking approval from others.

With relatable client stories, actionable exercises, and reflective power questions, this episode will empower you to stop abandoning yourself and start living authentically.


If you’re ready to say goodbye to constant ‘yeses’ and hello to a life that prioritizes your peace, this episode is your guide. Let’s break free, love—one boundary at a time.


Remember, every boundary you set is a declaration of self-worth. You matter, and your needs matter too.
