Podcasts about people pleasers

Send us a textBy late September, the spiral of holiday stress has already begun. The Halloween candy on store shelves, pumpkin spice lattes in your hand, and even the subtle self-shaming about indulging in them aren't random. They're subconscious cues. Triggers. And once they activate, your brain defaults into survival strategies that feel soothing in the moment but trap you in the same cycle of exhaustion, overgiving, and overwhelm by the time January 1st arrives.In this kickoff episode of the No More Holiday Hustle Series on The Cosmic Valkyrie Podcast. Lynn Louise Larson, guides you into a deeper awareness of what's really happening inside your mind and body during the holidays. This isn't about pumpkin spice or shopping therapy. It's about subconscious programming, inherited survival strategies, and the identities that silently drive you into stress every year.Why self-soothing behaviors like emotional eating, wine-down Wednesdays, or retail therapy never break the stress cycle.How your subconscious is wired for familiarity—not success—and why willpower alone can't change your patterns.The hidden cost of inherited stress identities: the People-Pleaser, the Martyr, the Overachiever, and the Fixer.How stress floods your system with cortisol, disrupts your sleep and digestion, and disconnects you from your joy.Why slowing down internally (not just clearing your schedule) is the radical reset you've been craving.How quantum awareness, alignment, and induction hypnosis help you rewire your subconscious and reclaim momentum.This is not about managing stress with surface-level tips. It's about going deeper—into the subconscious patterns that drive your behaviors—and aligning with your luminous self so the holiday season becomes one of presence, peace, and connection.Ready to Break the Spiral for Good? The stress cycle has already started—but this year, you can interrupt it. That's exactly why I created the No More Holiday Hustle Workshop.For just $27, you'll receive: ✔️ 3 powerful trainings under 20 minutes each ✔️ Delivered straight to your inbox (no Zoom links, no rigid schedule) ✔️ Tools rooted in subconscious reprogramming, quantum alignment, and hypnosisAnd if you're ready to go deeper, you can upgrade to VIP for just $20 more.This isn't fluff.

Here's what to expect on the podcast:Drew's powerful story of breaking free from a lifetime of people-pleasingThe path to uncovering your authentic self and true purposeHow Drew supports men and caregivers on their own journeysThe six pillars of family health—and why they matterThe C.O.P.E. paradigm as a framework for lasting personal growthAnd so much more! About Drew:Drew Deraney believes that his success happens when he finds a better way and is willing and able to share it with others. HOW he does that is by challenging the status quo and thinking differently. Ultimately, WHAT Drew brings to the table is a way to contribute and add value by having an impact on the lives of others.It wasn't always this way. For most of his life, he was concerned with what people thought of him and how he was supposed to act. He wore many masks to either fit in or be accepted. He didn't realize he was a people pleaser, hiding his authentic self. Fast forward... In a 9-month span a few years ago, he endured four faith-shaking life events that caused him to question his existence and determine his purpose in life. Why was he here?Drew is the proud father of three children, a daughter and two sons. His oldest son was born with autism spectrum disorder and is, what the experts call, "high functioning," previously called "Asperger's" - cognitively strong and socially and emotionally delayed. Now a Caregiver Coach, Drew supports families caring for those with special needs and fathers caring for children who have autism spectrum disorder to navigate the system for appropriate services for their loved ones and themselves. Connect with Drew Deraney!Website: https://www.profitcompassion.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drewderaney/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtwMTiiZvnhTpsaCYMK6oqgEmail: drew@profitcompassion.comFrom Caving In to Crushing It Podcast: Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-caving-in-to-crushing-it/id1658061389Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/74b0HbQaDn6xxOzr1C9dmW?si=xsJ2g5rRQ9aaIUZyulH_uA&nd=1&dlsi=f7b868246c8045baCheck out Drew's book, ‘I'll Have What She's Having' - Memoir of A reformed People Pleaser, on Amazon! https://tinyurl.com/349cxmp5----- If you're struggling, consider therapy with our sponsor, BetterHelp.Visit https://betterhelp.com/candicesnyder for a 10% discount on your first month of therapy.*This is a paid promotionIf you are in the United States and in crisis, or any other person may be in danger -Suicide & Crisis Lifeline Dial 988----- Connect with Candice Snyder!Website: https://www.podpage.com/passion-purpose-and-possibilities-1/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/candicebsnyder?_rdrPassion, Purpose, and Possibilities Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/passionpurposeandpossibilitiescommunity/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/passionpurposepossibilities/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/candicesnyder/Shop For A Cause With Gifts That Give Back to Nonprofits: https://thekindnesscause.com/Fall In Love With Artists And Experience Joy And Calm: https://www.youtube.com/@movenartrelaxationClick this link to receive your FREE TRIAL to The Greenhouse Communityhttps://www.thegreenhousecommunity.com/checkout/the-greenhouse-membership?affiliate_code=11e889

What's your #1 Challenge in Living your Truth?

We're back with a new bonus episode on people-pleasing!This time, we're looking at people-pleasing not as a personal flaw, but as a social behavior shaped by power, structure, and the need to belong. We'll explore the sociology behind it — from Goffman's dramaturgy to Asch's conformity experiments — and unpack how gender roles, hierarchy, and cultural norms reinforce it. Plus, a few grounded points to help you recognize and start unlearning people-pleasing tendencies. *If the episode is too long, peep this song "People Pleaser" by Cat Burns-- It's not sociological but it is soulful.Want to sow into the vision of this podcast? ⁠click here⁠

How do you know when it's time to end a friendship, or any relationship for that matter? How do you know when you're just being "dramatic," like your family of origin always told you you were, and when you're self-advocating and standing in your power? How do you balance healthy boundaries with healthy compassion, especially when a person's toxicity is coming from being abused themselves? In this episode, we're doing a deep dive into when it's time to call it quits, so that you can stop feeling drained and disrespected, and start feeling loved and cared for.

People-pleasing often gets labeled as a flaw, but it can also be a strength when you do it the right way. Join me as I unpack why so many of us fall into unhealthy patterns, how it ties back to self-worth, and what it really takes to flip the script. You'll learn how to set boundaries in six key areas of your life; work, schedule, environment, people, things, and adventures, so you can show up for others without losing yourself. I'll share how to protect your time, your energy, and your joy while still caring deeply for the people around you. This is about creating clarity, valuing yourself, and building the kind of balance that actually lasts.Key Takeaways:Why people pleasing is really a self-worth issue and how to flip it into empowermentThe “and vs. or” mindset shift that makes people pleasing healthy instead of harmfulSix categories to set boundaries around: work, schedule, environment, people, things, and adventuresHow to clearly communicate boundaries without guilt or apologyThe hardest part of boundaries and why clarity is the ultimate kindnessAbout Rebecca:In 2008, I blew up my life in spectacular fashion. I left a rule-based religious group, divorced, and lost the few people I had leaned on. I thought greener grasses awaited me. I was wrong. Despite building a wildly successful digital marketing business and growing my family to four kids, I felt nothing but dread each morning.Then came what I now call Epiphany Town. It was that electric moment when I stopped defining my life by what happened to me and began building on purpose. That phase lit me up in a way I had never felt. Now I devote every ounce of my energy to guiding others through their own version of Epiphany Town. I help them forgive their past, let go of self-sabotaging stories, and leap into a life that is meaningful and deeply fulfilling.I believe each of us has a story to tell, a gift to offer, and a life worth waking up for. Whether your goal is to impact one person or a million, I am here to help you see your place, claim your voice, and live your life on your terms.https://rebeccamountain.ca/ Thanks for listening!Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

In this eye-opening episode of Helping Organisations Thrive, we talk with Angela Cox, founder of Paseda 360 coach training academy, multi-award winning executive coach, therapist, and two-time bestselling author. Angela shares her powerful journey from corporate exhaustion to authentic leadership, revealing how she transformed her life after walking away from a lucrative consulting role when the weight of "pretending" became unbearable. Her story of losing eight stones while searching for fulfillment, only to realise that external changes couldn't fix internal disconnection, sets the stage for a profound exploration of workplace authenticity. Angela unveils her groundbreaking research showing that 97% of leaders wear masks at work, identifying four primary personas: the Perfectionist (driven by fear of mistakes), the People Pleaser (seeking approval at all costs), the Persecutor of Self (engaging in constant self-blame), and the Persecutor of Others (deflecting blame when things go wrong). She explains how these protective mechanisms, born from our fundamental need to belong and avoid rejection, create an exhausting cycle that hampers both individual resilience and organisational effectiveness. The conversation provides practical tools for breaking free from these patterns, including exercises to build self-value and self-trust, while acknowledging the challenging but ultimately rewarding journey of removing the masks we've worn for decades to reveal our authentic leadership potential.   Connect with Angela: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelacoxpaseda360/ Website:  https://angelacoxcoaching.com/     ##########   If you are looking for a Blueprint to help you and your business manage uncertainty, deal with failure and navigate change then reach out to Julian at: julian@julianrobertsconsulting.com   You can buy my book "Weathering the Storm: A Guide to Building Resilient Teams" on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DFTYN2Y2   ##########

Do you have the syndrome? You know… the one where someone asks, “Hey, can you make the homecoming banner?” and before your brain or calendar catches up, your mouth says, “Of course!” Then five minutes later you remember… you've got a major deadline, three other commitments, and exactly zero extra hours this week. This week, I'm sitting down with therapist (and fellow recovering good girl) Diane Lang to expose what's really behind that knee-jerk yes—and why “being helpful” often just means putting yourself dead last. Saying yes to everyone else isn't what makes you valuable. In fact, the moment you stop making everyone's emergency your problem, you gain more respect and more time for the things you actually care about. We're breaking down: • Why “selfish” self-care is actually the least selfish thing you can do • How to drop the guilt without when saying no • The sneaky ways control addiction keeps you stuck • And how to make “no” your new favorite word (without the apology tour) Listen now and start building a life that doesn't require you to earn rest, justify your boundaries, or explain why your answer is no.

Discomfort isn't always a bad thing—in fact, it's often where the most meaningful growth happens. In this solo episode, I'm sharing why getting uncomfortable is essential for building confidence, deepening relationships, and becoming the person you want to be.I'll walk you through the “learning zone” model to help you identify whether you're in your comfort zone, stretching in a healthy way, or pushing yourself into the panic zone. We'll talk about how to discern between discomfort that helps you grow and the kind that harms, why avoiding difficult conversations keeps us from developing critical skills, and how my own core values of growth and connection guide me in these moments.Along the way, I'll share stories from my own life—from stepping onto a stage at The Moth to tackling emotionally vulnerable conversations—that show how discomfort, paired with self-compassion and support, can transform your capacity and your connections.If you've been avoiding a challenge because it feels uncomfortable, this episode will help you decide whether it's a moment to lean in, step back, or find a healthier way forward.Resources:Listen to Episode 35.

Are you a people pleaser? Always saying “yes” but feeling stressed, resentful, or even burned out?

I'm so in love with fall. Let's FALL in love with ourselves this autumn (I know that was so corny). This episode, I want us to talk about embracing ourselves so we can escape the people pleasing trap. Those of us with people pleaser personalities may forgo our own wants and needs in order to accomodate others. We're looking for validation, for acceptance, for that stamp of approval.

+++ Infos zu unseren Sponsoren, Links zu Rabattaktionen etc.: lnkfi.re/einfachganzleben +++ People Pleaser können oft nicht aus ihrer Haut. Sie sagen Ja, auch wenn sie eigentlich Nein meinen. Sie fühlen sich für das Wohlergehen anderer verantwortlich und spüren erst viel zu spät, dass sie sich selbst dabei völlig vergessen haben. Oft passen sie sich lieber an, als bei anderen anzuecken. Die Psychologin Dr. Ulrike Bossmann ist Expertin für mentale Stärke, positive Psychologie und Achtsamkeit. Im Gespräch mit Jutta Ribbrock erklärt sie, woher People Pleasing kommen kann und zeigt, wie man ohne schlechtes Gewissen Grenzen zieht und Konflikte austrägt, statt um der Harmonie willen zu schweigen. Außerdem gibt sie viele einfühlsame Impulse, wie wir den Fokus wieder mehr darauf richten können, dass unser eigenes Leben glücklich und entspannt ist, ohne dabei unser Umfeld aus dem Blick zu verlieren.Zum Weiterhören und Stöbern:Website von Ulrike Bossmann: soulsweet.deUlrike Bossmann auf Instagram: @ulrikebossmannDr. Ulrike Bossmann, People Pleasing – Raus aus der Harmoniefalle und weg mit dem schlechten Gewissen (Buch und Hörbuch)Die Titelmelodie dieses Podcasts findet ihr auf dem Album balance moods – Ein Tag in der Natur.Noch viel mehr Tipps zu einem bewussten Lebensstil findet ihr auf einfachganzleben.de.Besucht uns auch bei Facebook und Instagram.Ihr habt Fragen, Lob, Kritik oder Anmerkungen?

In this powerful episode, Lisa A. Romano explores how codependency erodes authenticity and keeps people trapped in the exhausting cycle of people-pleasing. If you struggle to speak your truth, constantly seek approval, or fear setting boundaries, this episode will help you understand the deeper root of why you hide your authentic self—and how to begin unmasking the people pleaser within. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why people-pleasing is a trauma response rooted in childhood survival How codependency develops when authenticity is punished or ignored The difference between genuine kindness and compulsive approval-seeking Why suppressing your needs leads to resentment, burnout, and emotional confusion Practical steps to reconnect with your true self and honor your voice Why This Episode Matters Many adult children of emotionally immature, narcissistic, or unavailable caregivers learn early on that being “the good one” is the only way to feel safe. Over time, this coping mechanism becomes a false self—one that performs for acceptance while abandoning its truth. But healing is possible. By understanding the connection between childhood emotional neglect and adult codependency, you can begin the courageous journey back to your authentic self—one boundary at a time. Take the Next Step Lisa's 12 Week Breakthrough Method is a neuroscience-informed system designed to help you unlearn codependent behaviors, reclaim your voice, and build a self-concept rooted in worth and truth.

Is your podcast suffering because you're too nice? In this episode, I call out the people pleasers because trying to make everyone happy could be killing your podcast's impact (and ROI). I see it over and over: podcasters letting guests ramble, avoiding clear CTAs, skipping structure and systems, all in the name of being nice. In this episode, I break down exactly how people pleasing shows up in (and hurts) your podcast: On air: letting guests hijack your show and ignoring your listener Behind the scenes: missing deadlines and burning out because you didn't set boundaries In your business: holding back your offers, afraid of sounding too salesy And the biggest trap of all… avoiding niching because you don't want to leave anyone out If you've been putting everyone else's comfort ahead of your podcast's purpose, this is your wake-up call. Your listener needs you to show up with confidence and clarity, not deliver watered-down content and wobbly leadership. So, let's talk about how to stop people pleasing and start podcasting like a pro.

Your AI is learning to lie to you. It's not malicious—it's just trying to be a people-pleaser. This dangerous phenomenon, known as AI sycophancy, is what happens when we train models with outdated incentives.Dr. Tatyana Mamut, an anthropologist, economist, and the CEO of Wayfound, joins us to explain why treating AI like traditional software is a critical mistake. She provides a revolutionary playbook for building AI you can actually trust, starting with how to manage AI agents like employees with clear roles, goals, and performance reviews. She then introduces the radical solution of an "AI supervisor"—an AI that manages other agents to ensure accountability. This all builds toward her vision for the "multi-sapiens workforce," where humans and AI collaborate to build the companies of tomorrow.This is an essential guide for any leader aiming to build the culture and systems necessary to manage AI effectively.Check out:Workshop: The AI upgrade to your SDLCThe DevEx guide to AI-driven software developmentFollow the hosts:Follow BenFollow AndrewFollow today's guest(s):Connect with Dr. Tatyana Mamut on LinkedInFollow the latest from Wayfound on LinkedInConnect with Kelly Vaughn on LinkedInKelly's Connect with MeAndrew's Connect with MeReferenced in today's show:Replit deleted a customer's entire production database.Silicon Valley AI Startups Are Embracing China's Controversial ‘996' Work ScheduleI've launched 37 products in 5 years and not doing that againEvaluating LLMs on real long-horizon business tasksSupport the show: Subscribe to our Substack Leave us a review Subscribe on YouTube Follow us on Twitter or LinkedIn Offers: Learn about Continuous Merge with gitStream Get your DORA Metrics free forever

This summer, I'm re-airing some of my favorite decision making episodes. This one originally aired on May 4, 2021.   We all have the capacity to live our lives in such a way that we forget to remember who we are, we hurry through our minutes looking for the next important thing, we are overly attentive to what people think of us, and we are addicted to our own press.   So what is the next right thing for those of us who are so aware of other people's opinions that we have a hard time knowing our own, making wise decisions, or doing our next right thing in love?
