Stop being Too Nice: Start honoring yourself w/ host Melissa D. Barry

June 30, 2025 • Melissa D. Barry • Season 2025 • Episode 62

Have you ever wondered where the line is between being kind and being too nice?

In this episode of Conscious Matters ®, we explore the emotional toll of overextending yourself and what it actually means to protect your energy without guilt.

If you’ve been praised for being the reliable one, the calm one, the one who never makes things difficult, but you’re starting to feel the weight of that role, this conversation will speak to you.

You’ll walk away with clarity on:

The difference between kindness and people-pleasing
How to stop overriding your needs to keep the peace
Why self-worth and boundaries are deeply connected
What shifts when you start choosing presence over performance

🎧 This isn’t about becoming hard. It’s about becoming whole.

Listen up to this gem,
Namaste listeners!
