Ep:39 - Stop Saying Yes: Boundaries, Burnout & Self Trust with Dr Wendy O’Connor

Everyone gets the best of you. What’s left for yourself?

Psychologist and coach Dr Wendy O’Connor joins Brian Stokes to explore people-pleasing, burnout and why saying no can feel so difficult, even when you’re already stretched.

Wendy shares how running two practices while raising three young daughters led her to question the successful life she had built. Together, we discuss the pressure to keep achieving, the fear of disappointing people, and how to stay committed without losing yourself in everyone else’s expectations.

In this episode:

• Recognising when helping others becomes taking on too much

• Why success on paper doesn’t always feel fulfilling

• The difference between discipline and ignoring your own limits

• Setting boundaries and handling the guilt that follows

• Rebuilding self-trust through small, everyday decisions

• Helping children develop confidence, values and a healthier inner voice

An honest, practical conversation for anyone balancing work, training, family and the habit of always saying yes.
