About this listen
You say yes when you want to say no. You show up exhausted, smile through it, and tell yourself it’s just easier that way. Sound familiar?
In this episode of Headstraight, we’re cutting deep into the quiet habit of putting yourself last—why it happens, where it starts, and how to begin rewriting the story.
Here’s what you’ll get:
- Why people pleasing isn’t kindness—it’s survival
- What guilt really means when you start choosing yourself
- How to spot the subtle signs you’re sacrificing your needs
- Simple ways to say “no” without a guilt trip or apology tour
- A challenge to help you start acting like your needs actually matter
If you’ve ever thought:
- “I don’t want to be selfish”
- “They’ll think I’m difficult if I speak up”
- “I always come last, but I don’t know how to change that”
…this episode is for you. No shame. No BS. Just real talk and tools to help you move from people pleaser to self-respecter.
🎧 Listen now and learn how to put yourself back on the list—without losing your compassion.
