Why do we say yes when every cell in our body is screaming NO?

In this episode, Nat and Sammy dive into the messy, very human world of people pleasing... the survival strategy so many anxious, sensitive humans master without even meaning to.

We explore the real root of people pleasing through the lens of the nervous system, childhood patterns, fear of conflict, and that deep desire to keep the peace… even at the cost of your own needs.

This episode is honest, spicy, validating and full of “oh wow, same” moments... especially if you grew up being the “good girl,” the easy one, the peacekeeper, or the emotional shock absorber.

🎧 Tune in to learn how to recognise people pleasing in real time, how to regulate before responding, and how to choose yourself without burning bridges.
