Summary
Are you a people-pleaser who says 'yes' even when you don’t mean it? Inspired by a listener's request for this topic, a quote from Kat, and a real-life example of Kat offering to record even when she’s sick…Amy dives into the reasons behind people-pleasing and why it’s so hard for some to say no, and she also shares tips for setting boundaries with kindness.
QUOTE:
“If we don't say yes authentically, we say yes resentfully, and that leads to far more problems than if we'd said no in the first place.”

| 0:00.0 | Happy Tuesday, welcome to the fifth thing. I'm Amy. And normally this is where you'd hear |
| 0:09.4 | another voice say, and I'm Kat, but Kat is sick, like really sick. Here is a voice text that I got |
| 0:17.3 | from her earlier today. And I'm playing it for you because it sort of ties into the theme of today's |
| 0:22.5 | episode. Stop saying yes when you don't mean it. And Kat isn't really saying yes in the voice text, |
| 0:29.0 | but you'll hear her offering to still record, even though she is really sick. Which I get sometimes |
| 0:35.3 | when you've got a work project or you have something going on, |
| 0:37.9 | you may still have to show up. You may have to get out your computer. You may have to hop on the Zoom. |
| 0:41.7 | You may have to do something because, well, people are relying on us. But if you have a partner |
| 0:46.8 | or someone at your work that's like saying, hey, I got you. Like I can do a solo episode or I'll cover that for you. No worries. Then take them up on it, which Kat did. I mean, |
| 0:56.6 | she's not here. She's not recording. I'm doing the solo episode, but I just wanted y'all to hear |
| 1:02.3 | Kat's voice. She's returning from a trip. She went to Italy with Big P, which I cannot wait |
| 1:08.4 | to hear about this trip. I mean, this is a trip that Kat has been |
| 1:11.0 | looking forward to forever. And she's sacrificed other things that she's wanted to do in life |
| 1:17.2 | because she's like, no, I would rather save up and go on my trip to Italy. So her voice text is |
| 1:23.5 | tying into today's episode, along with a quote that she sent me last week that is so good. |
| 1:28.8 | And then a listener also reached out asking for us to do an episode about people pleasing. |
| 1:35.7 | So if you're someone that says yes all the time when you do not mean it or maybe even just |
| 1:41.1 | you've said it like once and you didn't mean it and you're scared |
| 1:44.5 | you're going to do it again, then you're in the right place because we all need to get to |
| 1:48.4 | where our yeses and our nose means something. All right. Here is the voice text I got from Kat |
| 1:54.9 | and then after that I'll share the quote that she sent me. Chow, I am back from my travels. |
| 2:02.2 | And yesterday was, might be the worst travel day I've ever had in my existence. |
