boundaries boundaries unleashed podcast can't say no overexplaining people pleasing self leadership spiritual Jun 16, 2025

Are you constantly justifying your boundaries, apologizing for your needs, or over-explaining your “no”? In this episode of Boundaries Unleashed, we’re unpacking why high-empathy, people-pleasing women feel the pressure to explain themselves—and how to stop.

I’m Vicki, Spiritual Self-Leadership & Boundaries Coach, and I’ll guide you through the energetic and emotional roots of over-explaining, why it’s a nervous system survival strategy, and how to step into your sacred no with confidence.

You’ll learn:

  • Why explaining is actually a power leak
  • The top 3 reasons recovering people-pleasers struggle to set boundaries
  • A sacred reframe to anchor your worth without needing permission
  • “The Boundaried Woman’s Rule of Three” for practical, brave implementation

✨ This episode weaves personal empowerment with spiritual growth for women who are reclaiming their voice and honoring their inner truth.
