What's it about?

Personal Development

Do you find yourself overwhelmed and stuck in situations you would never placed yourself in, all because you tried to be nice to someone? Are you constantly worried about offending someone at work so you go out of your way to be extra helpful? Chances are that you're a people pleaser. While that may not be a terrible thing, it might be stopping you from doing the things you want to and pursuing your goals. In this collection, you'll learn to voice your assertive "no", rebuild and strengthen your self-esteem, and be inspired by the true story of a former people pleaser.

The Baggage Reclaim Sessions

A lot of us, when we feel pissed-off, will do our level best to hide the anger we feel. We put on a show of niceness and pretend we’re okay with whatever the situation is. While avoiding conflict may feel like the easiest option in the short-term, in the long-run we do ourselves serious damage. This episode reminds us of the true cost of feeling mad but acting like we're not.
