How to STOP Letting People Walk All Over You (5 Real Strategies)
The School of Greatness
Recap: Five strategies to gain respect
Lewis summarizes the five strategies and reassures listeners about the messy but freeing process of boundary work.
I'm opening up about a painful truth I learned the hard way: the more you try to please everyone, the less people actually respect you. I'll share a vulnerable childhood memory of literally paying kids five dollars just to hang out with me, and how that wound shaped decades of people-pleasing behavior that drained my energy and fractured my sense of self. Through five powerful strategies, I'll walk you through the exact process I used to stop being a doormat and start commanding real respect. You'll discover why saying no is actually the most loving thing you can do for yourself and others, how silence after stating your decision holds more power than any explanation, and why the people who get frustrated with your new boundaries are exactly the ones you need to distance yourself from. This isn't about becoming cold or aggressive, it's about speaking with kindness and clarity while refusing to sacrifice your peace to keep others comfortable.
