This summer I've had SO MANY lightbulb moments, but I needed time to put them into words (and I'm not claiming I did a very... organized job; but I'm sure you'll get the point). Join me as I share what I learned these past few full moons & retrogrades, receiving clearer answer than ever from the universe how I can further grow as a recovering people pleaser

Life has just been FULL ON for me lately, and as most humans do, I started forgetting all the helpful law of attraction tips I've learned this far. Listen as I rehash my recent life struggles & how I changed my perspective to get back in a good vibration :)Sources:Allana Pratt- Intimate ConversationsSpirit, Purpose & Energy with JJ Flizanes Episode 385- When your partner Triggers you 

Finally the answer to the question I still get asked constantly, which made me realize so much about myself, my false beliefs and how I can progress further at overcoming perfectionism and people pleasing.

TBH I started this episode with the general theme of things I've been working through lately, but the card pull at the 'end' was the real highlight. Immediately after recording that card came true for me, so I had to come back on and share how I dealt with my roadblocks the card had predicted.

One final solo episode of the year, recapping the lessons I've learned as a recovering people pleaser

NGL, this episode was hard for me to get out and even harder for me to listen back to, but I know deep down that some of you may have had similar experiences as Recovering People Pleasers. Listen as I share what this eclipse season has taught me about setting boundaries; despite how difficult it is for a PP, in hopes that it gives you the courage you need to set boundaries in your own lives. 

After seeing Jay Shetty interview his wife on the podcast linked below, I figured it would be fun to do the same with my own very special guest, Eric Dryden ;)Listen as we both share the good times, the bad times and most importantly- the lessons we've both learned; from the perspective of a people pleaser in a relationship and from the partner of one.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLAgd3XITZk&authuser=1

A little backwards, but consider this the prequel to my last interview with Natalia.

Just a soulful solo epi with me :)The truth is, though it gets easier with practice, saying no is probably always going to be one of the hardest things for recovering People Pleasers. And maaaaybe it was this new moon, but the universe just seemed to keep throwing more and more opportunities at me to practice this newly developed skill  in the last few weeks. Listen as I share 3 recent instances of how I almost slipped back to my people pleasing patterns, and got myself out.

Your Saturn Return is when "Saturn *returns* to where it was in the sky when you were born—which happens every 27 to 29.5 years—it's a major astrological coming-of-age moment. Your Saturn Return is often followed by major life changes, like switching jobs or careers, breakups, engagements, divorce, retirement, purchasing homes. You know, all the things that make us want to boss up and take control of our lives. " -https://www.cosmopolitan.com/lifestyle/a36278870/saturn-return-meaning-astrology/And boy am I ever experiencing mine!

Back to a solo show with ya girl :)“Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it's having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome. Vulnerability is not weakness; it's our greatest measure of courage.”- Brené BrownBeing vulnerable is challenging for all of us, so you can imagine how tough it is for People Pleasers. The last thing we want is to be seen for who we really are for fear of not being liked and accepted. But everything worth having is outside our comfort zones! Join me as I share my knowledge and experiences working with vulnerability. 

A longie but a goodie!!! Being my first ever time remote recording you can imagine the audio is far from perfect (but I swear the majority is still clear so bare with me at the start), and I KNOW  you'll still find the episode a very worthwhile listen.

Check out the many relevant resources he has to offer at https://mensgroup.com/ And yes ladies, I'm confident it will still be helpful for all of you too. 

The title says it all! People Pleasing and Perfectionism often go hand in hand; if you're striving to be liked by everyone, you're likely striving to be that unachievable perfect person in other areas of your life too. Co-dependency-pathologically put another person's needs above your own, could be considered a close cousin of People Pleasing. Join me as I delve into these concepts and how we can begin to shift our focus from pleasing others to pleasing the one person you matters most: ourselves!

You've likely heard of fight, flight or freeze, but did you know there is a 4th possible trauma response?
