À propos de cet audio

 Do you ever feel completely drained after “being nice”? If so, you might not need more sleep — you might need emotional rest. In Episode 149 of Medium Lady Talks, Erin explores how emotional fatigue often hides in plain sight, especially for chronic people pleasers. She shares why people-pleasing is a constant leak on your energy, how it erases your sense of self in relationships, and why emotional rest is one of the most overlooked (but deeply necessary) types of rest. ✨ In this episode, you’ll learn: What emotional fatigue feels like (and how it’s different from mental fatigue) Why chronic people-pleasing quietly drains you from morning to night How to reframe boundaries as saying yes to yourself, not just saying no to others Why emotional rest means giving yourself permission to not be emotionally available 24/7 The “Pause Button for Your Heart”: a 3-step tool to help you set down feelings that aren’t yours to carry 💬 Quotes from the episode: “If you identify as a chronic people pleaser, that is a leak on your energy. And it is constant: it is there when you wake up and it is there when you go to bed.” “A lot of people pleasers don't set boundaries because they think that saying no is mean, or hurtful. But I really think we can see our boundaries beyond saying no to others; more about saying yes to ourselves.” “If you want to get emotional rest, you're going to have to give yourself permission to not be emotionally available 24/7.” “What people pleasers do is they empathize so deeply it’s like they become the person they’re trying to keep happy and control. But you unintentionally erase yourself from the relationship." 💬 Let Erin know what “real rest” means to you over on Instagram @medium.lady—and share this episode with the friend who’s doing everything “right” and still wondering why she’s so tired.
