If you're always the one who shows up for everyone else, this episode reveals why that strength can quietly become the very thing holding you back. Show Notes — "Stop Helping Everyone Except Yourself" In this episode, Baylor exposes one of the most overlooked forms of burnout: being the reliable one. The fixer. The hero. The go-to problem solver. The people pleaser. It sounds noble. It feels selfless. And you may genuinely believe you're just "helping." But Baylor breaks down how people-pleasing often turns into a subtle, dangerous cycle where you're pouring into everyone else and leaving yourself empty. He explains how the biggest question every people pleaser must ask is: "Is this truly helping, or am I just supplying the fuel for someone else's laziness?" You'll hear Baylor unpack why lazy people naturally gravitate toward reliable people, how "emergencies" magically become your problem, and why the person who always helps is rarely the one who gets helped in return. Then he goes deeper: How reciprocity reveals someone's true intentions Why "thank you" doesn't always mean gratitude Why being dependable becomes your identity How manipulation hides inside convenience Why the fear of disappointing others keeps you stuck Most importantly, Baylor challenges you to stop making everyone else the priority—and finally make the person in the mirror your first obligation. When you do that, you don't just help yourself… you actually start helping the right people in the right ways. What You'll Learn The hidden burnout cycle of people pleasers How to identify one-sided and non-reciprocal relationships Why lazy or unmotivated people always find "the reliable one" How to know if you're genuinely helping or being used Why your identity becomes tied to fixing others How to reclaim your time, energy, and self-respect Why the person in the mirror must get the best of you How to set boundaries that protect your peace and purpose Featured Quote "You are a people too—stop pleasing everyone except the one in the mirror."

Are you exhausted from constantly striving, pushing, and trying to be perfect? In this vulnerable and intimate episode of Masks Off for People Pleasers & Perfectionists, I'm sharing the truth about my complicated relationship with my inner perfectionist—who I lovingly call Perfectionistic Paula.For decades, Paula ran the show. She kept me hustling, grinding, striving, and pushing past my limits… all in the name of safety, approval, and control.

I didn't even recognize myself without her.This episode is an honest look at what happens after you put the sword down, slow down, and start reclaiming the parts of you that perfectionism silenced. I talk about:✨ How perfectionism shows up as a survival strategy ✨ The emotional and physical costs of letting Paula run the show ✨ My struggles with chronic health symptoms and deep exhaustion ✨ The strange “void” that comes when you finally stop striving ✨ How to find the middle ground between burnout and balance ✨ Why your 20s can feel so overwhelming and confusing — and how perfectionism makes it worse ✨ How to soften, surrender, and listen to your inner wisdom instead of the pressure to "figure it all out"If you're a young woman in your twenties navigating identity, burnout, pressure, or perfectionism — this episode will speak directly to your soul.

Through vivid stories and cultural examples—from Steve Jobs to Michael Jackson—it identifies four compulsive types (Boss, Workaholic, People-Pleaser, and Obsessor) and shows how their strategies both protect and imprison them.

If the holidays leave you more drained than joyful, you're not alone—and given what the holidays are supposed to represent, it's really a shame that year after year, we get sucked into the parasitic undertow of stress and overwhelm. But—if you choose it—it is possible to have a stress-free holiday season.Today I'm sharing my three rules for creating a calm, meaningful, and truly stress-free holiday season — without isolating yourself or people-pleasing your way through December. Let's talk about how to trade obligation for intention, set boundaries before burnout hits, and redefine what “togetherness” really means on your terms.This isn't about pretending everything's perfect — it's about designing a holiday season rooted in courage, clarity, and self-respect, and opting out of the b.s.

In this episode, I'm joined by Hollie Azzopardi, author of The People Pleaser's Guide to Putting Yourself First and The People Pleaser's Guide to Saying Yes to You. We dive into what it actually takes to stop people-pleasing and start honouring your own needs without the guilt that so often comes with it. Hollie opens up about her experience with mould illness and the surprising symptoms that finally made her pay attention to her body. We explore how people-pleasing disconnects us from our inner signals, and how becoming a mum shifted her identity, intuition, and boundaries in a profound way.

Do the holidays leave you stressed about food, body image, or saying no to that second helping (or that draining family event)? You're not alone.

Are you tired of saying yes when every part of you is screaming no? In this week's episode of A Millennial Mind, I sit down with Annalie Howling — performance coach, trauma specialist, and boundaries queen — to unpack the truth about people pleasing, approval addiction, and why so many of us feel guilty putting ourselves first. We dive deep into the psychology behind saying yes, how it's linked to childhood conditioning, and what it actually takes to stop caring what everyone thinks. If you've ever been called “too nice,” struggled to set boundaries, or felt drained trying to please everyone — this one's for you. ✨ Who It's For: Chronic people pleasers who can't say no Anyone struggling with guilt, shame, or overgiving Women tired of being the “good girl” Anyone learning to protect their peace & energy

Do you ever catch yourself saying yes when you really want to say no? If you're tired of people-pleasing, overgiving, or constantly putting others first, this Tea & Truth episode is your invitation to finally find peace in midlife — without guilt. Host Lynne Wadsworth, Holistic Health Practitioner, shares heartfelt insights and practical strategies for releasing perfectionism, setting healthy boundaries, and reclaiming your energy, joy, and authenticity. ✨ Inside this episode, you'll learn how to:

Okay, babe… let's talk about people pleasing, because this episode is me calling myself (and you) all the way out. For years, I thought being the "chill, supportive, easygoing" partner made me good. But in reality? I was just betraying myself over and over. I wasn't setting boundaries, I was building walls and then wondering why everything exploded when I finally snapped. I share the story of how I went from spending every damn Saturday house-hunting for someone else's dream home (that I wasn't even living in!) to realising I was overextending myself because I was scared to look "selfish." In this episode, I break down: The difference between having boundaries and just having preferences. Why your energy is sacred (and not everyone deserves access). How to stop rescuing grown-ass adults and hand their emotional baggage right back to them. What "proof over promises" really looks like in love and life. And why the only people pissed about your boundaries are the ones who benefited when you didn't have any. This is your permission slip to stop apologizing for protecting your peace. You can be kind and firm. You can be soft andstrong. You can be compassionate and say "no." Stop gaslighting your feelings just to make other people comfortable. If that makes you "too much," so be it.

You'll learn how to recognize when you're in victim mode, how to reclaim your agency, and how to take radical responsibility for your peace, joy, and growth.This episode is especially for women in their twenties who are learning to navigate adulthood, relationships, and self-discovery without losing themselves in perfectionism or people-pleasing.

People pleasing -  we've all seen it before (whether we recognized it or not) - constantly being agreeable, always saying yes, never setting any boundaries - all to the point of self-destruction.  If you haven't experienced it yourself, it's likely you've witnessed someone else demonstrate these behaviors. And although it may have short-term benefits, we know that these self-destructive tendencies are not sustainable, and can lead to mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion and burnout. If this is something you think you might struggle with, or if you know someone who does, today's episode provides a wide variety of perspectives on what “people pleasing” can look like in the day to day world, a number of root causes, and a handful of different solutions you can use to help you manage these behaviors. More specifically, I dive into: Quotes that hit - some of the most impactful sound bites I've heard on the topic What drives you?  How our drives can lead us into unhealthy people pleasing behaviors The downside to many of the mainstream self-help resources that address the topic The necessary self-reflection that has to take place before we can make long-lasting behavioral changes Referenced Resources: E210: Assertiveness: How To Ask For What You Want & Get What You Need E207: How Perception Impacts Communication & Relationships E208: Robert Greene: Mastering Human Nature and Facing Your Flaws E200: What To Do When Trying To Help Makes Stuff Worse E176: When Positive Thinking Doesn't Work E22: The Value of Self-Doubt E130: How Understanding Drives Helps Build Buy-In Quiz: What Drives You?

Do you find yourself saying yes when you really want to say no? Feeling guilty for setting even the smallest boundary? You might be a people pleaser. In this pre-holiday episode, Sarah and Whitney unpack why people-pleasing is so common, how it impacts moms especially, and share practical tools for saying no, setting boundaries, and showing up as your authentic self this season.

In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Brittney Moses — a psychology graduate, women's coach, and mental health content creator — to talk about something most of us struggle with but rarely name out loud: people-pleasing and self-abandonment.We went deep into how women, especially Black women, are taught to carry everyone else's load and call it strength — even when it's slowly breaking us down. Brittney opened my eyes to the “fawn response,” a trauma reaction where we make ourselves small to feel safe. That hit home for me because I've been there — walking on eggshells, avoiding conflict, thinking silence kept the peace when it really just kept me stuck.We talked about the guilt that comes with saying no, how to rebuild self-trust after years of ignoring your intuition, and what it means to live beyond society's checkboxes — those invisible rules about when to marry, have kids, or “be successful.” Brittney's story of becoming a teen mom, going back to UCLA, remarrying later in life, and defining success on her own terms reminded me that God's timeline is never off — it's divine.And we didn't stop there. We unpacked identity, masking, and the constant pressure to perform — in faith, in work, even online. I had to be real about my own journey of shifting from me-centered hustle to God-centered purpose. This episode reminded me — and I hope it reminds you — that you've already done enough. Everything after this is just the overflow of your purpose.If this episode spoke to you, share it with a friend who's learning to choose themselves again.

What if resentment isn't your enemy — but a signpost? Many of us carry resentment quietly — that slow burn that shows up as tension in our bodies and heaviness in our hearts. We tell ourselves it's because of what someone else did or didn't do. But the truth is, resentment doesn't begin with them. It begins with us. In this episode, I explore how resentment is not your enemy, but your teacher — a sacred signal pointing you back to your unmet needs, forgotten boundaries, and the parts of you longing to be honored again. When you learn to listen to resentment instead of judging it, it reveals the exact places where you've been abandoning yourself in the name of peace, approval, or belonging. This isn't about blame. It's about freedom — the kind that comes from reclaiming your voice, your choices, and your truth. What we explore: The real root of resentment and why it's never just about someone else How crossing your own boundaries leads to self-abandonment Why resentment is actually grief — not anger Compassionate practices for transforming resentment into self-honoring How to hold your boundaries even when guilt or fear arises   When resentment rises, it's an invitation to pause, listen, and return to what's true for you. You don't need anyone else to change. You only need to stop betraying yourself. The freedom you've been seeking isn't out there — it's waiting within you.   Connect with me: Newsletternancylevin.comInstagramFacebook  

Sometimes protecting your peace means losing what isn't aligned. In this episode, I share a story about setting simple house rules — and what unfolded when those boundaries were met with resistance.It's not really about a nanny. It's about the quiet strength it takes to lead your home with clarity and confidence — even when it costs you comfort. We'll talk about why boundaries aren't about control, how guilt often disguises itself as kindness, and why standing firm in your values creates safety for your children and freedom for you.Your home is your sanctuary. The people you invite into it should honor the rhythm, respect the rules, and reflect the love you're building inside those walls.If you've ever doubted yourself after setting a boundary, this episode is your reminder: you're not being too much — you're being true.

This week on⁠ The Tarot Diagnosis⁠, we're exploring one of the most commonly misunderstood behaviors that exist in many of us: people-pleasing. Inspired by real conversations in the therapy room and the archetypal patterns of tarot, I explore people-pleasing through a trauma-informed, psychological, and tarot-based lens.While people-pleasing is often viewed as a virtue and praised as kindness or empathy, the truth is way more complex. From a clinical perspective, people-pleasing is often rooted in early childhood conditioning, or what therapists might consider as part of the “fawn response,” as well as the development of what psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott refers to as the false self. I shed light on how people-pleasing is actually a survival skill - a way of staying safe by tending to others' needs, moods, and perceptions, often at our own expense.In this episode, I explore how tarot archetypes reflect the nuance and shadow of this survival style. Drawing from both psychological theory and tarot symbolism, I unpack this behavior pattern as a form of emotional manipulation born from a deep need for control, approval, and connection, which might be difficult for many of us to hear.I also guide you through a therapeutic, three-card spread designed to help you explore your own patterns of people-pleasing along with what's underneath it, what it protects, and what it might feel like to step outside of it.For the collective, I pull…Card One: What emotion am I attempting to prevent or manage by people-pleasing? → The TowerCard Two: What would it mean to allow another person to feel disappointed, angry, or uncomfortable without taking responsibility for it? → Two of CupsCard Three: How can I tell the difference between being kind and giving so much that I lose myself? → Nine of CupsDeck Used: Tarot Vintage
