In which areas of your life are you saying yes, when you really want to say no, because you are afraid of the consequences of a no?

Maybe you take on an extra project at work, even if you know it will burden you?

Maybe someone asked for your time or energy, and you hear your mouth saying sure, no problem even if it actually is a problem?

If someone asks for your opinion, do you say what you thin they want to hear, or do you share what is true for you?

You might think being agreeable or being the yes person at work is just you being helpful, kind and generous.

The truth is, this has little to do with being kind.

Today, I’m talking about the misunderstood behavior so many high-achieving women struggle with: People-pleasing.

We’ll explore why it’s not really about pleasing others, but about keeping yourself emotionally safe, and how learning to say no can actually deepen connection — not destroy it.

This is the final episode of Season 1 of Self Path Podcast. I'll be back in August again.

Are you ready to find the courage to say no and finally speak your needs? I'm going to work with a handful of private clients this August.

If you feel you'd like to be one of them, shoot me a message at monika@theselflovepath.com

Summer is here and for most of us summer means vacation and taking a break from our normal routines. In the Nordics this week marks the celebration of midsummer – which is one of our biggest holidays.

Summer is marketed as our prime time.

Everywhere you look it seems like people have sexy and exciting plans.

Everyone’s tanned, everyone’s surrounded by friends, family, a good looking man and happy kids, everyone has flowers in their hair, cute summer dresses and it seems as if the sun is always shining.

One moment on social media and you feel lonely, anxious and unhappy with your life.

You consume a 10 second reel from someone else’s life, and conclude that they are doing much better at life, while you are failing and living a boring life.

You feel stressed that you haven’t made big enough summer plans.

You feel sad and disappointed that you haven’t been invited to the summer party everyone else is going to.

Maybe your friend has holiday plans she happily shares with you, but at the back of your mind you’re thinking:

“Why am I not invited? “Why am I always the one who has to invite myself to events?”

In this week’s episode, I also talk about how unstructured time — like summer holidays — can be especially triggering for high-achievers.

When the work calendar disappears, all of a sudden you’re left with this blank space. And if you’re used to defining your worth by doing, that space can feel unbearable.

Do you feel pressured by all the self-care “to do’s” you feel you should do?

Exercise. Walk at least 10,000 steps daily. Lift weights — but let’s also do fasted cardio.

Stretching, mobility, yoga. Meditate. Write a gratitude journal. Catch the sunrise. Ground in the grass.

All before you’ve even started your day.

It’s easy — just get up 20 minutes earlier! That’s all it takes. Easy, they tell you.

And in between all of that, you’re trying to manage life. But also, actually enjoy it.

In this episode, I explore what happens when we try to fix our stress and self-worth struggles with the same energy and strategies that created them — and why real change starts deeper.

This conversation is a special one because I’m speaking to a true master of coaching, mindset, and living up to one's potential: Tigran Unanjan.

Tigran is a wealth and mindset coach and has himself been mentored by none other than Bob Proctor, and you’ll hear that influence throughout this conversation.

I’ve been fortunate enough to spend time with Tigran, and when it comes to my mindset, dreaming big, and developing the habit of taking aligned, bold action—Tigran has been a game-changer for me.

Before working with him, I was playing it very safe. I didn’t fully believe in my goals.

Tigran helped me turn my dreams into something tangible. He helped me understand that if I want a new reality, I can’t operate from my current one—I have to start acting from the version of me who’s already living it.

Working with him shifted my vision, deepened my understanding of the law of attraction, and taught me how much our identity shapes our outcomes.

The episode is in Swedish — because that’s the language where this conversation felt most alive and unfiltered.

If you don’t speak Swedish, don’t worry — English episodes will be back next week. And if you’re curious, you can find the full translated transcript at theselflovepath.com/12.

What if self-love isn’t just a nice idea — but the most important shift you could make in your entire life?

Not the kind of self-love that’s about pampering or trying to feel good all the time, but the kind that changes the way you relate to yourself at the deepest level.

The kind that makes you stop running from who you are.

Because when self-love is missing, you don’t just feel bad — you start to believe that you are bad. And from that place, you try to fix, perfect, control, overachieve, or numb you way to worthiness.

In this episode, I want to show you why self-love isn’t a luxury — it’s a return to truth.

I’ll share what self-love actually is, how the ego ties into this, and how to begin practicing self-love in a way that feels real and embodied.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re never enough, this might be the beginning of everything shifting.

If you feel called to grab one of the 2 spots I have open for my 30 day coaching sprint - an experience that will help you step onto your self-love path (and step into summer feeling grounded and home) - email me at monika@theselflovepath.com or Book a Discovery call directly (no strings attached).

This episode is about GOALS.

I’ve never been one of those people who gets super fired up about goals. For most of my life, setting goals just felt stressful.

Every time I set one, I felt pressure to know exactly how I was going to achieve it.

And the second I committed to a goal, I also committed to overworking, to sacrificing everything else in my life just to get there.

In this episode, I want to offer a different take.

Because the problem isn’t you. You’ve just been setting the wrong kind of goals.

I’ll share why most goals actually keep you small, what changes when you set goals from your heart, and how one decision I made years ago quietly changed the entire trajectory of my life.

Let me ask you something.

Is it easier to avoid an uncomfortable feeling, or to meet it head on and feel it?

Most people would say avoid. And yeah — that makes sense. It feels safer in the moment. You stay in control. You don’t rock the boat. You keep the peace.

But at what cost?

I see it all the time — and I’ve lived it myself. You keep it together without even knowing you’re doing it.

Your mind loops. Your shoulders tense. Your sleep is off. Your body won’t settle.

You try to convince yourself that it’s all good, normal, just something you have to live with.

But what if the thing you’ve been avoiding is actually the doorway to your power?

This episode might name something you’ve been carrying for a long, long time.
