In this episode, we’re tackling the topic of people pleasing and how it’s holding you back from growing your business. As health professionals, it’s easy to fall into the trap of overdelivering and undervaluing ourselves, but this episode will show you how to set boundaries, say no strategically, and create space for sustainable growth

Episode Summary

People pleasing might feel like the right thing to do, but it’s actually holding you back. From overdelivering to clients to undervaluing your services, this mindset can lead to burnout, exhaustion, and a business that drains you.

In this episode, I’ll share how to recognise when people pleasing is taking over, why it happens, and how to set healthy boundaries that empower you and your clients. You’ll learn how to shift from constantly saying yes to strategically saying no, creating space for growth and success.

Key Takeaways

  1. People pleasing is a disservice to your clients: Overdelivering doesn’t make you a better practitioner; it dilutes your expertise.
  2. Set clear boundaries: Manage client expectations from the start to avoid burnout and frustration.
  3. Saying no is powerful: Strategic no’s create space for better opportunities and sustainable growth.
  4. Self-reflection is essential: Use tools like journaling or tracking your time to identify where you’re overcommitting.
  5. Your needs come first: Meeting your own needs is critical to delivering amazing service to your clients.
