For the one who always says yes.
People-pleasing isn't a character flaw. It's a learned pattern — often a smart one — that probably kept you safe at some point and has stopped serving you. From the outside it looks like being easygoing, dependable, the one who has it together. On the inside it tends to feel like resentment, replaying conversations at 2 a.m., and not always knowing what you actually want.
Lizzy made this 7-day guide for that exact spot. It's not a fix-it list and it's not a personality overhaul. It's a slow, kind set of practices for noticing where you've been overriding yourself — and gently finding your way back.
