At first glance, kindness and niceness look the same but they’re not.
In this episode of Rebranding Mental Health, we unpack why niceness often comes at the cost of silence, resentment, and self-abandonment, while kindness is rooted in truth, empathy, and boundaries.

You’ll learn:
• Why niceness is a performance fueled by fear of rejection or conflict
• How people-pleasing impacts your nervous system, stress, and relationships
• The hidden emotional labor behind always being “the nice one”
• Practical boundary scripts that sound kind without being self-sacrificing
• What science says about kindness as medicine for stress, well-being, and connection

If you’ve ever felt guilty for saying no, struggled to separate compassion from compliance, or wondered who you are without the people-pleasing mask this episode is for you.

Kindness doesn’t always look “nice.” But it always leads to freedom.
