Ever feel guilty for saying no? Like setting a boundary makes you a bad person? You’re not alone and you’re definitely not broken.
In this powerful, heart-led episode of The Happya Life Podcast, Clare Deacon dives deep into the real reason boundaries feel so hard, especially if you’ve experienced trauma, chronic people-pleasing, or were taught that love had to be earned.
You’ll discover:
- 🌪 Why your nervous system resists saying no (hint: it’s not about willpower)
- 🧠 The brain science behind why boundaries trigger guilt
- 💛 How to rewire your response and create safe, sustainable boundaries
- 💬 Scripts you can actually use without sounding defensive or rude
- 🔁 What to do when people push back against the “new” you
With a warm cuppa and a whole lot of compassion, Clare reminds you that setting boundaries isn’t selfish, it’s sacred. This isn’t just self-care; it’s nervous system repair.
✨ Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been on this healing journey a while, this episode will help you stop abandoning yourself and start choosing peace over performance.
