Podcasts about people pleasers

Is it important for you to be liked by everyone? Do you ever hold back on an idea because you're terrified of what someone else might say? Or have you made a major life decision — like what career to pursue or who to date — based on what others thought you should do, rather than what you actually wanted to do? If any of this sounds familiar, today's episode is for you. If your self-worth depends on an opinion poll, you'll always feel unstable. Fortunately, you don't have to let other people's opinions control your life. Some of the things I talk about are: Why your brain is wired to fear rejection and how it impacts your self-esteem The science behind why external validation creates stress and lowers autonomy How to build self-worth on a foundation you control A mental trick called "The Permission Slip" that frees you from needing others' approval Why setting boundaries feels awkward at first — and how to survive the discomfort A simple challenge to help you take back control of your life this week Subscribe to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mentally Stronger Premium⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for exclusive content like weekly bonus episodes, mental strength challenges, and office hours with me.

Hey Powerhouses! This week we're talking about what happens when you wake up and realize you're living someone else's perfect life—and what it takes to create one that actually fits. Wendy Meadows, seasoned family law attorney, former litigator, certified life coach, mediator, and author of the bestselling book Sparkling Grit, joins us to share her journey from BigLaw burnout to building a practice (and life) on her own terms.We dive into why Wendy left her firm after 13 years (spoiler: asking permission for vacation was the last straw), how Beachbody coaching taught her more about running a business than law school ever did, and why so many lawyers who go solo end up making MORE money while working fewer hours than they ever imagined. Wendy breaks down the math (yes, there's a spreadsheet), walks us through the hardest part of going solo (the breakup conversation with your partners), and explains why hiring an assistant before you think you need one is non-negotiable.We also talk about the Sparkle and Grit framework—why you need both the feminine (sparkle) and masculine (grit) energy to succeed, how to recognize burnout before you hit the wall, and why 2026 is Wendy's year of "ease." Plus, Wendy gets real about her divorce, redefining success on her own terms, and learning to let opportunities flow to her instead of grinding for them.And yes, she wore two different shoes to court.

In this episode of Masks Off: Inner Freedom for People Pleasers and Perfectionists, Kim Gross explores how self-abandonment, over-adapting, shapeshifting, over-functioning, hyper-responsibility, and hypervigilance become survival strategies to stay connected.In dating, it can look like hiding your needs, chasing “being chosen,” or ignoring red flags.At work, it may show up as over-performing, struggling to say no, and tying your worth to productivity.In friendships, it often appears as being the strong one — the therapist friend who rarely shares her own struggles.Kim shares personal stories, including how presenting as “low maintenance” early in her marriage led to deeper insecurity and approval-seeking later, and how an autoimmune diagnosis exposed her attachment to productivity and worth.This episode reframes these behaviors not as flaws, but as nervous system strategies rooted in fear of rejection, abandonment, and being seen as “too much.”You'll walk away with reflection questions, a practical “take up 5% more space” weekly challenge, and an introduction to Kim's 5-Step Power Pathway for healing self-abandonment.The goal isn't to stop caring.It's to stop disappearing.

Pesek, to unravel the mysteries of business law and compliance for entrepreneurs and startups.With over thirty years of legal experience spanning big-name companies like Dillard's, Walmart, and Home Depot, Phil's journey is packed with stories, insight, and a passion for making the law accessible. After retiring just before the pandemic, Phil discovered his true calling in education—teaching contract law at the University of Arkansas and advising startup founders as a fractional general counsel.Throughout the episode, Phil stresses the importance of compliance, structure, and knowing the “why” behind decisions like forming an LLC or electing S corporation status. He offers a unique, relationship-driven approach by providing a flat fee that includes a fully prepared compliance binder and unlimited access for questions. For new founders, he warns of the traps of DIY legal work from the internet and offers a free initial consultation to make the first steps less daunting.Listeners will find both practical advice and inspiration in Phil's stories—from sobering lessons about the stakes of compliance to encouraging tales of effective contract negotiation. Ultimately, this episode champions seeking out trustworthy legal guidance early and building relationships that will serve your business well as it grows.

We all think people-pleasing is just being nice, being thoughtful, keeping the peace. But what if it's actually a master we didn't realize we were serving? In this message, we look at King Saul's slow unraveling and ask a hard question: whose approval is shaping your life?

Bist du ein People Pleaser, der zu oft Kompromisse macht und sich selbst vergisst? In dieser Folge spreche ich über schwierige Beziehungen, Kontaktabbrüche und wie du stimmige Entscheidungen triffst – ohne dich zu verlieren. Mehr Leichtigkeit, Klarheit & Gelassenheit im Leben. Entspannter und glücklicher leben ist kein Zufall – es ist möglich, für jede*n, auch für dich. Wenn du gerade spürst, dass dich etwas ausbremst, dass du dich zu sehr anpasst oder immer wieder Kompromisse machst, die sich nicht gut anfühlen – dann darfst du neugierig werden. In meinem Neuaufgestellt-Coaching & Mentoring schauen wir gemeinsam: Was hält dich wirklich zurück? Welche Muster laufen unbewusst? Wie kannst du klarere Entscheidungen treffen und mehr Leichtigkeit in dein Leben holen? Alle Coachings sind maßgeschneidert, online oder telefonisch, mit Fokus auf dich und deine Bedürfnisse. Wenn du Lust hast, da tiefer zu schauen, kannst du ein unverbindliches Klarheitsgespräch vereinbaren: www.neuaufgestellt.de/kontakt Ich freue mich, dich auf deinem Weg zu begleiten.

In this solo episode of Masks Off: Inner Freedom for People-Pleasers & Perfectionists, host Kim Gross unpacks the deeply rooted pattern of approval addiction—the unconscious need for validation that often drives people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-abandonment.Kim shares personal reflections and excerpts from her memoir Free to Be: A Pathway to Inner Liberation, revealing how approval-seeking behaviors form in childhood as survival strategies tied to safety, belonging, and love. Rather than framing these patterns as weaknesses, Kim offers a compassionate reframe: approval addiction is learned—and therefore, it can be unlearned.Listeners are invited into a gentle process of self-awareness through journal prompts, reflection, and nervous-system-informed insight. The episode closes with a powerful reminder inspired by Melodie Beattie, reinforcing the truth that worthiness is not something we earn—it's something we remember.This episode is for anyone ready to:Stop chasing validationUnderstand the roots of people-pleasingHeal self-worth at the pattern levelReclaim inner peace and authenticity00:00 Introduction to Approval Addiction01:49 Welcome to Masks Off03:20 Personal Struggles with Approval Addiction03:37 The Roots of Approval Addiction06:13 Excerpt from Free to Be11:34 The Impact of External Validation15:58 The Need for Belonging26:01 Journal Prompts for Self-Reflection31:57 Final Thoughts & Integration⏱ Episode Chapters#PeoplePleasing #ApprovalAddiction #InnerFreedom#SelfWorthHealing #EmotionalAwareness #PersonalGrowth

In der heutigen Podcastfolge spreche ich mit der ehemaligen Lifestyle Schlank-Teilnehmerin Sarah darüber, wie ihr nach über 30 Jahren und mehr als 30 gescheiterten Diäten endlich die wahre Ursache für ihr Übergewicht bewusst wurde. Sarah ist ein People Pleaser und hat es seit ihrer Kindheit immer allen recht machen wollen. Sie ist das typische „brave Mädchen“, das tut, was „man“ ihr sagt, und sich für andere verbiegt. Ihre eigenen Bedürfnisse waren ihr weder bewusst, noch hat sie jemals gelernt, für diese einzustehen. Erst durch die intensive Auseinandersetzung mit sich selbst im Programm stellt sie sich die Frage: „Wer ist eigentlich Sarah und wer möchte Sarah sein?“ Während des Programms lernt sie, ihre wahren Gefühle zuzulassen, sich nicht länger mit Essen zu betäuben, für ihre Bedürfnisse einzutreten und sich selbst zu lieben. Das beschert ihr nicht nur die lang ersehnte Abnahme, sondern auch ein ganz neues, viel positiveres Lebensgefühl. Ein sehr bewegendes und inspirierendes Interview, das du nicht verpassen solltest. Ich wünsche dir wie immer viel Spaß und viele neue Erkenntnisse beim Zuhören. PS: Ich freue mich auch immer sehr über eine positive Bewertung von euch.

Why are you a people pleaser—and where did it really begin?In this episode, we explore the past-life origins of people pleasing through a powerful regression session with a client who came in asking two deeply personal questions: Why do I always put others first? and Why is my relationship with my father so strained in this lifetime?Her journey led us into an emotionally charged past life during wartime, where survival depended on compliance, obedience, and emotional suppression. Beyond the fear of war, unresolved wounds connected to her past-life father created soul-level patterns that carried forward into her current life.Through past life regression therapy, we uncover how subconscious memories, soul contracts, and unresolved trauma can shape modern behaviors like people pleasing, fear of conflict, and difficulty setting boundaries. After the regression, we connect with her angelic team, who lovingly assist in healing and releasing these old energetic imprints.This episode is for anyone who: • Struggles with people pleasing or over-giving • Feels emotionally responsible for others • Has complicated or estranged parental relationships • Is curious about past lives, soul healing, and spiritual hypnosisIf you've ever wondered whether your patterns began before this lifetime, this past life session may offer clarity, healing, and deep soul remembrance.Mayra Rath is a Spiritual Hypnotherapist specializing in Past Life Regression Therapy and QHHT Hypnosis. With over 26 years of experience, she has guided countless individuals through transformative journeys into their past lives, helping them uncover deep-rooted patterns and heal emotional wounds and traumas connected to previous incarnations.Based in Los Angeles, Mayra conducts sessions through her private practice, Soul Signs Hypnosis, both in-person and remotely.Connect with me Website: https://www.soulsigns.netSocial Media:TIKTOK:@SoulSignsHypnosisInstagram:@SoulSignsHypnosisFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1009959799420939 Youtube: @SoulSignsHypnosisPODCAST: Past Lives with Mayra Rath (Apple & Spotify)#pastlivespodcast #starseedmeaning #starseedactivations #qhhtpractitioner #qhhtsessions Hosted on Acast.

Self-abandonment doesn't always look dramatic.Most of the time, it's quiet. Subtle. Almost invisible.In this episode of Masks Off for People Pleasers and Perfectionists, Kim Gross is joined by certified life coach Karen Garcia for a deeply honest conversation about micro yeses — the small moments where we override ourselves to avoid discomfort, conflict, or rejection.Karen shares her personal journey of reclaiming self-worth while navigating separation, co-parenting, and dating — all while unlearning people-pleasing patterns that once felt necessary for survival.Together, Kim and Karen explore:How micro yeses lead to burnout, resentment, and disconnectionWhy saying no can feel unsafe — even as an adultThe role of self-trust in boundary settingWhat it really means to choose yourself consistentlyWhy asking for help is a powerful act of self-respectThis episode is for anyone who's tired of over-giving, tired of explaining themselves, and ready to stop abandoning their own needs.

What do you do when your people pleasing tendencies continue to come up again and again? How do you navigate the desire to please people, but ultimately continue to strive to please God? Today, I talk to Judah Smith about his tendencies to care too much about what people think, and the self-serving, self-protecting, selfish nature behind being a person who cares too much about what people think. We unpack the idea that ultimately, the root of people-pleasing is actually selfish -- because it's the desire to be wanted, loved, accepted, and validated -- is actually a desire to meet a deep, unquenchable need in us. If you struggle with people-pleasing, you need to tune in to this one.

In this episode of 'A Spark of Awareness,' the focus is on the second self-sabotage pattern: being a people pleaser. Sophie Vo, explores how people pleasing manifests in various behaviors such as avoiding conflicts, difficult conversations, struggling to say no, or over-explaining your boundaries.

Throw your people pleasing aside so you can finally get what you want. Not only have I experienced being a people pleaser, but it's also something I see among family and friends. This desire to please everybody is actually leaving you broke, and keeping you from the life you really want. It's time to show up as you are, learn to say no, and stop choosing being liked over being wealthy. In this episode, I'm sharing how you can disassociate yourself from people pleasing behaviors, along with micro-actions you can take to change your mindset and step into the type of money you want to make. In this episode, you will learn about: The true consequences of getting what you want (and how to be okay with it). What handling a toxic employee taught me about people pleasing. Where people pleasing might be showing up in your business, and what it costs you. Why you don't need to be nice to be respected in business. How being afraid to say no is keeping you from saying yes to the right things. Why you need boundaries and rules if you want to make more money. How the way you view wealthy people could be keeping you from getting rich. The micro-actions you can take right away to rewire your brain to be wealthy.
