Natalie Lue expands her popular blog Baggage Reclaim into podcast form with a weekly show about how to live and love with more self-esteem by unpacking, decluttering and tidying up our excess emotional baggage. It's time to reclaim yourself and experience more love, care trust and respect.

    Ep. 276: New Year, New No, and Recognising the Dark Side of People Pleasing

    In the final episode of 2022, Natalie shares a deleted chapter from her forthcoming book, The Joy of Saying No. She breaks down how, to escape the chains of the roles we play and trying to keep up with our and other people's often unrealistic expectations and projections, we might act out behind the scenes, go rogue on the version of ourselves that people have come to expect from us, lash out, or experience the toll of the chronic stress of our people-pleasing habit.

Really Appreciate Natalie & this Podcast

I just entered my 30s and have felt like I’ve lived my entire life not truly knowing who I am. Natalie’s podcast has helped me in asking all the tough questions to myself that make me think about who I am. I am newly single and after many “failed” relationships it’s helpful to take a step back and really look at them from a mature perspective in recognizing my part in allowing those relationships to develop longer than they should have. Very appreciative for the self-reflection and improvement this podcast has sparked.

The most insightful podcast ever

It really is. I don’t know how one person can dispense so much wisdom and have such insight. Again and again, Nat Lu opens my eyes to what’s really going on in my head and why. Thank you!!!

Thank you, Natalie!

I discovered your podcast many years ago, after a tough breakup, and a period of many transitions. Listening to your weekly podcast kept me sane, and got me through those tough times. Thank you so much, Natalie, for all the wisdom you’ve shared, and your openness and vulnerability.I am sad to see you go, but excited for where your journey takes you next. 💕
