The Self-Help Podcast with Deepali Nagrani

Are you constantly saying yes, apologizing when you’ve done nothing wrong, or worrying about disappointing others? You might be caught in the exhausting cycle of people-pleasing.

In this deeply personal episode, I share my own journey of chasing approval, the hidden costs of always trying to keep others happy, and the liberating moment I realized freedom begins when you stop abandoning yourself.

You’ll learn:

• Why people-pleasing is often rooted in childhood experiences
• The subtle signs you’re stuck in the pattern
• How to set boundaries with compassion (and without guilt)
• Simple, practical steps to start living in alignment with your values

This week, I challenge you to pause before saying yes out of guilt and ask yourself: What do I really want?
