The People-Pleaser Detox: Use "Let Them Theory" to Set Boundaries & End Emotional Burnout (Part 3)

Feeling like you're carrying the emotional load for everyone – your kids, your partner, your colleagues, your extended family? Are you burnt out from saying YES when your whole body screams NO? This episode is your complete guide to the People-Pleaser Detox.

We dive deep into the Let Them Theory (by Mel Robbins) to show you how to stop abandoning yourself to manage everyone else's mood and reclaim your energy, peace and sanity. People-pleasing often looks like kindness, but we reveal why it's truly fear and self-abandonment in disguise. We also tackle the spicy "Glow-Up or Grow-Up" topic: the difference between healthy boundaries and the trend of going "No Contact" with family.

What You'll Hear This Episode:

• People-Pleasing vs. Kindness: The crucial distinction between acting from fear and acting from grounded generosity.
• Midlife Over-Functioning: How the pressure of raising kids and caring for family and friedns intensifies the need to over-accommodate.
• The "Let Them" Shift: Practical examples of applying Let Them Theory to parenting, work and tricky family dynamics.
• Boundaries Without Drama: Why your boundaries work through consistency, not confrontation or over-explaining.
• Glow-Up or Grow-Up: Dissecting the "No Contact" trend and when thoughtful distance is a Glow-Up versus when avoidance needs to Grow-Up.

This is essential listening for women struggling with emotional burnout, codependency, setting healthy boundaries or overcoming the need for external validation.
