Have you ever said yes when you really wanted to say no? Or found yourself walking on eggshells just to keep the peace? If that resonates, you’re not alone.
In this episode of the Finally Thriving podcast, we’re diving deep into people-pleasing—why we do it, how it shows up in our relationships, and what it really takes to break the cycle and start setting healthy boundaries.
Janelle is joined by Stephanie Caines, a certified breakup and life coach who helps people heal after heartbreak, rebuild their self-worth, and break free from toxic patterns.
We talk about:
- Why people pleasing feels “safe” in toxic dynamics
- How it ties to anxious attachment and fear of abandonment
- Practical tools to break the pattern and start setting healthy boundaries
- How releasing people pleasing actually opens the door to healthier relationships and more confidence
