Why do we say yes when we mean no? Alice and David explore the cost of overgiving, how to set healthy boundaries, and why saying no can be the kindest act. If you struggle with people-pleasing, codependency, or feeling taken for granted, this conversation is for you.

In this intimate conversation, Alice and David explore the performative masks we wear to fit in and the exhausting weight of living behind them.
