Framing New Heights
Boundaries That Build You: Saying ‘No’ Without Feeling Like the Bad Guy. EP: 162
Thank you for being a listener. Kindly give us a review.
If you’re exhausted, overcommitted, and feel like you’re carrying everyone’s emotional weight… this episode is your reset.
In this powerful Framing New Heights conversation, Michael Hicks, founder of Liv2Thrive Coaching, breaks down the truth about people-pleasing and why so many high-achievers, parents, and leaders struggle to say no — even when they’re drowning.
This episode tackles the emotional, practical, and faith-based reality of boundaries with a message you need to hear:
Boundaries aren’t selfish. They’re sustainability.
You’ll learn the 3 lies people-pleasers believe, how burnout is often a boundary problem (not a motivation problem), and how to protect your time, energy, and identity without feeling like the villain in someone else’s story.
I will be sharing real coaching insights (without names) from clients navigating stress, parenting overload, relationship imbalance, leadership pressure, and constant over-functioning — proving that your peace is worth protecting.
🔥 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
Why saying “yes” too often quietly erodes your health and purpose
The 3-core people-pleasing lies:
“If I say no, I’ll lose them.”
“My worth is in what I do.”
“Burnout is just part of life.”
The Liv2Thrive “No Blueprint” for clear, calm, confident boundaries
How to stop over-explaining your no
The difference between being compassionate and being consumed
Why even Jesus modeled rest, withdrawal, and intentional boundaries
Simple boundary scripts you can use this week
🙏 Faith-Based Alignment:
This isn’t just self-help — it’s wise living.
You’ll also hear biblical principles that support healthy boundaries, emotional stewardship, and identity-based leadership.
💪 Your Takeaway:
By the end of this episode, you’ll have the clarity and confidence to stop living for everyone else’s expectations — and start leading your life with peace, structure, and purpose.
