Goodbye People-Pleasing — Boundaries That Create the Life You Want
Are you secretly exhausted from always saying “yes”? Do you find yourself doing things for everyone else, while your own dreams sit on the back burner?
This week on Beyond Empty Nest, I’m talking with leadership coach and community builder Jessi Sheridan about the real cost of people pleasing—and how setting healthy boundaries can help you design a life you truly love.
Jessi’s story will inspire you to ask the big questions, get crystal clear on your values, and create a vision for your days that leaves you feeling fulfilled, not depleted. We cover:
- Jessi’s journey from working with college women to leading a thriving women’s community
- How a single "What impact do I want to make?" question changed her life
- Why identifying your top values is the key to healthy boundaries
- Practical ways to say “no” without guilt
- How to recognize when you’re people pleasing—and what to do about it
- The surprising link between boundaries and stronger relationships
- Jessi’s dare for you: put yourself first every single day
This conversation is your permission slip to stop overcommitting, ditch the guilt, and start intentionally designing a life you love.
