Ep. 202: The Gift of Boundaries – Releasing People-Pleasing
In this candid solo episode, Andrea Atherton unpacks the powerful and often misunderstood gift of boundaries. She invites listeners into a compassionate exploration of how people-pleasing behaviors are formed—often as childhood survival strategies—and how they silently erode our self-worth and relationships in adulthood. If you've ever found yourself saying "yes" when you meant "no," struggling with guilt after setting a boundary, or wondering why you attract emotionally unavailable or even toxic partners, this episode will feel like a homecoming.
Through the courageous story of a client named Jill, Andrea weaves together lived experience, trauma-informed insight, and the transformational path of learning to feel your feelings, trust your body, and honor your truth. She explores the hidden motivations behind people-pleasing and gently challenges the belief that saying no is selfish. Instead, she reframes boundaries as an essential form of self-care—one that allows for deeper connection, emotional safety, and inner peace.
Listeners will leave this episode with a renewed understanding of pausing, checking in with their bodies, and setting small but powerful boundaries that lead to lasting change. With practical tools, heartfelt storytelling, and Andrea’s signature warmth and wisdom, this episode offers both permission and a path forward for anyone ready to stop abandoning themselves and start coming home.
