388 | You Had Me at No: Boundaries, Burnout, and People-Pleasing

Author: Amber Cammidge September 15, 2026 Duration: 51:45

Hey Friends,

If you struggle to say no, take on too much, or feel responsible for everyone else, this episode is for you.

Today I'm talking with Sheryl Green, a boundaries expert, speaker, and author of You Had Me at "No." We talk about what healthy boundaries actually look like, why people-pleasing can lead to burnout, and how to start protecting your time and energy without feeling guilty.

Sheryl has a Master's Degree in Forensic Psychology and is the author of six books, including You Had Me at "No": How Setting Healthy Boundaries Helps Banish Burnout, Repair Relationships, and Save Your Sanity.

You can find Sheryl's book HERE.

Amber Cammidge hosts Declutter Your Chaos-Mindful Minimalism, a podcast that approaches the overwhelming task of clearing out your space with a unique blend of practicality and introspection. This isn't just about where to donate old clothes or how to fold a fitted sheet, though you'll find those tangible tips here. Instead, each conversation digs into the emotional roots of accumulation, exploring how our habits around stuff are often tied to memory, identity, or a sense of scarcity. The aim is to move beyond a one-time cleanup and foster a lasting, mindful minimalism that creates mental and physical room to breathe. You'll hear about resetting daily routines, building systems that actually work for your real life, and redefining what 'enough' truly means. Grounded in categories like self-improvement and mental health, this podcast recognizes that a calmer home directly supports a fitter, healthier, and more educated self. It's for anyone feeling weighed down by their possessions and ready to explore the quieter, more intentional life that exists just beneath the surface of the clutter. Tune in for honest talks that help you transform your environment from a source of chaos into a foundation for the life you're trying to build.
