Have you ever felt guilty for saying no or worried that standing up for yourself might push people away? In this episode, Ira dives into the uncomfortable truths about people-pleasing and the pressure to be "nice" at the expense of your own well-being. Being kind doesn't mean letting others walk all over you. It means having the strength to set boundaries, prioritize your peace, and hold others accountable — even if it’s hard.

We’ll explore why being too nice can lead to resentment, how fear of losing friends keeps us stuck in toxic patterns, and why true kindness requires courage. Plus, actionable tips on dealing with guilt, handling difficult conversations, and navigating the emotional rollercoaster of breaking free from the “nice person” trap.

It’s time to stop walking on eggshells and start living with self-respect. Because being kind doesn’t mean sacrificing yourself — it means honoring your own worth.
