In this heartfelt episode of Masks Off for People Pleasers and Perfectionists, Kim Gross, opens up about the realities of aging and how perfectionism can make this transition even harder.
I used to think I wasn't a people pleaser because I said no all the time—but I later realized I was still bending over backwards for certain people. People pleasing isn't always obvious; it can hide under good intentions, over-functioning, and quietly abandoning yourself to keep others comfortable. In this episode, I share how to spot the subtle ways it shows up and the first steps toward getting your life back! Find The People Pleasing Cure and other resources at www.rympocast.com.
Send us a textThe holidays aren't the source of your stress—you are. Triggering? Maybe. Liberating? Absolutely.In this episode of the Cosmic Valkyrie Podcast, we're continuing the No More Holiday Hustle Series with a deep dive into why your calendar, to-do list, and family obligations aren't actually the problem—and how subconscious identities and inherited beliefs are the real culprits.Most women think the stress comes from “doing too much,” but the truth is, the spiral begins in your subconscious programming. If you believe you're always behind, you'll live in urgency and panic. If you believe you're not enough, you'll overdeliver to the point of burnout. If you believe productivity equals worth, you'll never allow yourself to rest.The result? Stress eating, emotional shopping, arguments with family, blown budgets, migraines, and resentment that lasts long after the season ends.But here's the radical shift: stress doesn't come from what you're doing—it comes from who you believe you are while you're doing it.That's where alignment, momentum, and subconscious reprogramming come in. This episode shows you how to stop hustling, stop scrambling, and start creating the holidays you actually want.Why holiday stress starts in your belief system, not your schedule.The subconscious identities (People-Pleaser, Martyr, Overachiever, Fixer) that hijack your peace.Why willpower always fails—and how subconscious reprogramming creates lasting change.The hidden financial, emotional, and energetic costs of “making it magical.”How Quantum Physics and Induction Hypnosis help shift your subconscious lens.What it means to embody the Shapeshifter identity this season.Practical shifts you can start today to create alignment, presence, and flow.This isn't about canceling Christmas or lowering your standards—it's about reclaiming your presence, your joy, and your energy so you don't collapse into January burned out and resentful.Want to go deeper?

It's my first in a series on people pleasing! We're looking at it from all angles, starting with people-pleasing at work. We do it to stay safe, even to get ahead in our careers—but it's actually sabotaging our success! The problem is, half the time, we don't even know we're doing it, and the other half, we've people pleased before we even have a chance to think about what we're saying (soooo frustrating)! In this episode, executive coach, TED Talk speaker, and founder of Encourage Coaching, Katie O'Malley, joins me to talk about how we overcome the traumatized thinking that keeps us in people-pleaser mode, so we can set boundaries and take our power back.

Mid September 2025
On this deep-dive episode of Dawnversations, I sit down with Scott Doniger for part two of our Internal Family Systems/Parts Work series. We explore the different 'parts' we all carry—the Inner Critic, the Perfectionist, the Procrastinator, the Righteous One, and the People Pleaser—and uncover how they influence our thoughts, feelings, and actions.Scott brings clarity, insight, and practical guidance for understanding and working with these parts to create more self-compassion and inner harmony. This episode is longer than usual, but we go in-depth because some conversations just can't be rushed. If you've ever wondered why you sabotage yourself, procrastinate endlessly, or feel torn between competing impulses, this episode will give you a fresh perspective—and maybe even a plan for getting along with your inner committee.
Think being "too sensitive" is just a personality quirk? Think again. In this episode of The Wellness Effect, Lacey and Kira dive deep into the hidden cost of being an empath - and why your chronic symptoms might be directly linked to your inability to set boundaries. From depleted minerals showing up in lab work to the "calcium shell" your body creates to protect itself from stress, we're connecting the dots between emotional absorption and physical breakdown in ways that will completely shift how you view your healing journey. Whether you've always known you're an empath or you're just realizing that your people-pleasing tendencies are literally draining your life force, this conversation will give you the tools to turn your sensitivity from a health liability into your greatest superpower. In this episode, you'll hear: 09:29 - The real definition of being an empath and why most chronic illness sufferers share this trait 12:39 - How people-pleasing behaviors create "leaky boundaries" that lead to physical symptoms 16:53 - Why empaths attract energy vampires and how this keeps you stuck in chronic stress 32:48 - How constant emotion absorption keeps you trapped in fight-or-flight 40:50 - The calcium shell phenomenon: How your body creates armor to protect you from stress 45:57 - The brutal question every people-pleaser needs to ask 51:08 - How high-vibe people naturally repel energy drainers (and how to become one of them) Key Takeaways: Sodium and potassium deficiencies in HTMA testing directly correlate with boundary issues Your body creates a calcium shell around cells as physical protection when emotional boundaries are weak - this shows up consistently in lab work after trauma or chronic people-pleasing You can't out-supplement shitty boundaries - the root cause of mineral depletion is energetic, not nutritional Leaky boundaries and leaky gut are intimately connected - your emotional permeability directly impacts your physical permeability Want more from us?

What if the biggest thing holding you back as a leader isn't your skills or knowledge, but your inner operating system? ⚙️ In this episode of the ”Courageous Leadership Series,” Rosie Ward unpacks the “faulty programs” we all unknowingly downloaded in childhood that continue to influence our thoughts, choices, and leadership today. From the Overachiever to the People Pleaser to the Control Freak, these subconscious scripts can quietly fuel burnout, silence our voices, or lead us to chase worth in all the wrong places. Drawing on years of research and coaching hundreds of leaders, Rosie reveals the seven core faulty programs (and their sneaky cousins) — and, more importantly, how to start upgrading them.
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.

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 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?

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.

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. But when you love yourself, like REALLY love yourself, that pressure to be liked can start to fade.–Please rate, review, and share the show with your friends!Follow the show on Instagram @SituationshitPodFollow me @SoireesInTherapyIf you want to work with me, visit SoireesInTherapy.com/Book-Now to book a free 15 minute consultation.Tired of situationships?

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.
