Welcome back to The Rebel’s Way podcast—your no-BS guide to breaking the rules, trusting yourself, and creating a life that actually feels like yours. I’m your host, Starlyn, and today we’re ripping the mask off something sneaky that’s been stealing your joy: people-pleasing.

This episode is a truth-teller, a wake-up call, and a gut-check—because if you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly deferring, defaulting, or disappearing in your own life… you’re not alone. And no, you’re not “just easygoing”—you’ve been taught to abandon yourself.

In this episode, we dive into:

Why “I’m fine with whatever” is actually a red flag

How people-pleasing is the most socially acceptable form of self-abandonment

What it really means to use your voice—and why it’s so hard to do

A simple experiment to start breaking the habit today

Why speaking up for your needs is the boldest rebellion of all

This episode is your reminder that your voice matters, your wants are valid, and you’re not here to play the supporting role in someone else’s story. You get to be the main character. Period.

Challenge for You:

Today, when someone asks you what you want—pause. Check in with yourself. Then say it out loud. No apologizing. No over-explaining. Just the truth. Try it. Let it feel awkward. Let it feel powerful.

Welcome back to The Rebel’s Way podcast—your no-BS guide to ditching the rules, trusting your gut, and building a badass life on your terms. I’m your host, Starlyn, and today we’re talking about the art of getting shit done without selling your soul to hustle culture.

Inspired by tax season (ugh), home reno chaos, and the sheer magic of micro moves, this episode is a love letter to every rebel who’s been frozen by overwhelm and sick of the productivity pressure.

In this episode, we dive into:

🧠 Why your nervous system freaks the hell out when you stare down big goals

👣 The power of micro actions (a.k.a. tricking yourself into doing the thing)

🔥 Why “motivation” is a scam—and what actually gets things moving

💪 How to reclaim your power by making your own rules

🏡 The real-life story of how I slayed taxes and installed a kitchen floor like a damn queen

This episode is your permission slip to stop waiting for perfect energy, perfect timing, or perfect plans. You don’t need to bulldoze your way to the finish line—you just need one rebellious little step at a time.

Challenge for You:

What’s that one thing you’ve been putting off? Don’t tackle the whole mountain—just take one tiny action that feels doable right now. Even if it’s just opening a damn tab.

Welcome back to The Rebel’s Way podcast—your no-BS guide to breaking the rules, trusting yourself, and creating a life that actually feels like yours. I’m your host, Starlyn, and today we’re throwing out the one-size-fits-all approach to life, goals, and growth—and replacing it with your unique roadmap.

Inspired by a road trip and my love for a good metaphor, we’re talking about what it really means to build a life (and hit your goals) your way. Because spoiler alert: someone else’s plan isn’t your path.

In this episode, we dive into:

Why following someone else’s roadmap will only lead to burnout and disappointment

The hidden danger of doing things just because “that’s how it’s done”

How to know if you’re abandoning your joy for someone else’s version of success

The mindset shift that makes goal-chasing sustainable and satisfying

Why trusting your own body, energy, and intuition is the ultimate rebellion

This episode is your reminder that you don’t have to suffer your way to success. You can slow down, take detours, enjoy the views, and still get exactly where you’re meant to go.

Challenge for You:

Look at one goal you’re working toward right now. Are you following someone else’s plan because you think you should? What would it look like to pursue that goal in a way that actually feels good to you? Make one tiny shift toward your own path today.
