If your throat tightens when you ask for what you want, this conversation is your reset. We start by grounding with a mantra that reframes needs as information, not interruptions, then move into a practical framework for clear, kind boundaries that don’t require a ten-paragraph defense. The goal isn’t to become rigid; it’s to stop abandoning yourself and start speaking with steady honesty.

We break down the three rules of Boundary Boot Camp. First, get clear before you get brave: ask what you need, what you’re available for, and what you’re not available for. Second, drop the apology tour and use a concise script that honors your feelings and sets a clean expectation. Third, let the reaction be theirs—treat responses as data, not directives—and hold steady for 24 hours so you don’t walk back your progress during the guilt spike. Along the way, we talk about nervous system safety, why harmony often overrode honesty in our early wiring, and how clarity is the kindest form of communication.

You’ll leave with a one-sentence ask you can try this week, a calm way to deliver it, and a mindset that sees discomfort as part of growth rather than a danger signal. If you’ve ever feared being “too much,” this is the blueprint for taking up space without drama. Subscribe for more Mojo Minute tools, share this with a friend who needs boundary courage, and leave a review to tell us the one ask you’ll try first.

Ever felt that small tug in your chest that whispers, “I miss me”? This kickoff to Season Three leans into the tender grief that surfaces when you stop shrinking to fit other people’s comfort. We talk candidly about the invisible costs of people pleasing—energy leaks, stalled creativity, dulled desire, performative joy—and why naming them becomes the most compassionate first step toward alignment.

I share real moments from holidays and networking rooms where I looked competent on the outside while my inner voice planned an escape. That contrast sets up the oh moment: the instant your body says no while your mouth says yes. Instead of blame, we choose clarity. We break down how grief and honesty unlock a quiet, durable freedom you can feel in small ways: a pause before answering, an unadorned no, the relief of watching someone’s disappointment pass without you dissolving.

If you’re wondering what to take off your plate, I offer a simple decision filter: Does this match my energy now? Would I say yes if no one saw? Will future me be grateful or furious? When it isn’t a clean yes, it’s a no—and a no is just information. We also normalize the weird in-between: the restlessness after you stop overgiving, the impulse to refill your calendar, the nervous system relearning that safety doesn’t require exhaustion. The antidote is restful space you didn’t earn, followed by curiosity-led choices that rebuild desire without guilt.

By the end, you’ll have language for your grief, a structure for your boundaries, and permission to move slowly—because slowly is the fastest way to become the you that’s been there all along. If this resonates, hit follow, share with a friend who’s done being small, and leave a review so more people can find their way back to themselves. Your freedom starts here—one honest yes, one clean no, one brave breath at a time.

Holidays can pull us back into old roles before the eggnog hits the glass: the planner, the peacekeeper, the one who “makes it nice.” We’re done with that script. I walk you through a compassionate, practical approach to reclaiming your season without becoming rigid or combative, starting with a simple truth: your capacity is information, not a character flaw.

We explore how awareness widens your choices, turning guilt from a command into a clue. I share the cleanest boundary you’ll use all year—“That doesn’t work for me this year”—and how to deliver it without essays or apologies. You’ll learn to predecide your energy budget, choose connection over obligation, and craft exit strategies that keep your nervous system safe so you can actually enjoy the moments that matter. We also get tactical about regulation: stepping outside for fresh air, feeling your feet on the ground, slow breathing, and cold‑water resets that bring you back to a calm body where clear decisions live.

This isn’t about performing a perfect Christmas. It’s about presence. We unpack the tenderness of growth—the awkward in‑between where you’re not who you were but not yet who you’re becoming—and why letting people be disappointed is survivable. We curate what genuinely lights you up and release inherited rituals that drain you. As we close the season, I offer a permission slip to take up space, honor your limits, and lead your life with integrity. If you’re ready to swap people pleasing for self‑respect and turn tradition into a choice, press play and reclaim your holidays with heart. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs this, and leave a review to help more recovering people pleasers find their way.
