146. People Pleasing and Boundaries

Shelby Hansen

✨ Episode Summary:

If you’ve ever said yes when you meant no, felt responsible for keeping everyone happy, or wondered why you’re so tired all the time—this episode is for you.

Today, Shelby dives into why people pleasing is more than a bad habit—it’s a nervous system pattern that drains your energy and keeps you stuck in exhaustion. Learn how boundaries aren’t about pushing others away—they’re about protecting your peace, reclaiming your energy, and reconnecting with yourself.

You’ll hear personal stories, client transformations, and a powerful visualization practice to help you set boundaries from a place of love, not fear.

  • Why people pleasing develops (and why it's not your fault)
  • How it affects your energy and nervous system
  • The truth about boundaries (and why they’re not mean)
  • What it looks like to set kind, clear limits with others and yourself
  • A guided bubble meditation to help you feel safe in your own energy
