Why We Hold Ourselves Back with Nick Epley | #45

What if the biggest barrier to connection… is you?

In this episode, Erin Coupe sits down with behavioral scientist Nicholas Epley to unpack why we consistently misread others and underestimate how positively people will respond to us. From avoiding tough conversations to holding back simple kindness, Nick reveals how our own pessimism quietly limits our relationships, opportunities, and well-being.

They explore how small, intentional social choices like asking for help, giving a compliment, or starting a conversation can have an outsized impact on happiness, health, and connection.

Key takeaways:

If you have ever hesitated to reach out, speak up, or connect, this conversation will change how you show up in your life.

- Why we underestimate how much people like us
- How small social risks create big emotional rewards
- The hidden cost of staying in your comfort zone
