Join me for another solo episode as I explore the intricate relationship between people-pleasing, boundary-setting, and the nervous system giving a perspective you may not have heard before. 

If you struggle to say no, worry about judgment, don't want to let people down and have non-existent boundaries despite how hard you try this is for you

In this episode, I explain how the fawn response, particularly prevalent among women, influences behaviours and emotional responses and how this is massively linked to your nervous system. I'll share both somatic and practical tips to help your nervous system feel safe so you can start to put yourself first and break people-pleasing cycles.
