02. You Can’t Be the Bigger Person Forever

At some point, being the “bigger person” stops being growth and starts becoming self-abandonment.

In this episode, we’re talking about the uneasy side of people-pleasing, the guilt, the overthinking, the fear of seeming “mean.” I’m sharing stories of times I stayed quiet when I should’ve spoken up, said yes when I meant hell no, and kept the peace while I fell apart inside.

We’re also getting into how therapy helped me realize that boundaries aren’t rude, silence isn’t noble, and shrinking myself to make others comfortable isn’t love, it’s survival.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted from being the dependable one, the understanding one, the “I’ll let it go” one… this episode is for you. Let’s talk about why setting boundaries is a form of self-respect, and why you don’t owe anyone your silence just to be likable.

It’s time to retire the bigger person. She’s tired. She deserves peace too.
