Did you get roped into taking care of your neighbour's dog again? End up laughing at a colleague's awkward joke about your outfit?

Send us a textMany women who struggle with people-pleasing often blame themselves, but these habits are usually rooted in deeper issues that are beyond our control. There can be various underlying causes, but in this episode, I share how my personal experiences with bullying have influenced my people-pleasing tendencies. If recalling your own experiences of being bullied brings up strong emotions--it's okay to skip this episode if it feels too tender.

Here's what I cover:An overview of the four nervous system responses—fight, flight, freeze, and fawnA deep dive into the “fawn” nervous system response and how it connects bullying to people-pleasingHow bullying-related shame impacts our sense of worthinessA visualization exercise that uses arts work to help you heal your inner childWhy being attuned to others' needs might actually be a trauma responseA compassionate question to ask yourself that will reveal the beliefs you formed about safety and belongingDr. Ramani Clip: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHL5jFLMbE2/?hl=en Find Sara here:https://sarafisk.coachhttps://pages.sarafisk.coach/difficultconversationshttps://www.instagram.com/sarafiskcoach/https://www.facebook.com/SaraFiskCoaching/https://www.tiktok.com/@sarafiskcoachhttps://www.youtube.com/@sarafiskcoaching1333What happens inside the free Stop People Pleasing Facebook Community?

It's a requirement.Grace over guilt. Always.When you take care of yourself, you're teaching your family to step up, not step around you.

The silences that follow our "no" speak volumes. As women, we've mastered saying the word itself, but it's what happens after—that uncomfortable pause—where we often surrender our power. In this eye-opening conversation, author Amy Wilson discusses her new book "Happy to Help: Adventures of a People Pleaser," revealing how deeply ingrained the people-pleasing tendency becomes in women's lives. When Amy tells us that people-pleasing is "putting other people's wants and needs before your own," she's describing the unspoken assignment given to every mother, every woman. Yet this societal expectation exacts a serious toll, from strained relationships to physical illness.What makes this discussion particularly powerful is Wilson's ability to distinguish between life's unavoidable challenges and the optional burdens we assume. "When you've got a sick parent and a sick kid at the same time, you're not a people pleaser—you're just somebody with too much on your plate," she notes, helping listeners separate necessary responsibilities from those taken on purely out of obligation or need for external validation.The conversation explores "socially prescribed perfectionism"—the researched phenomenon where women internalize impossibly high societal standards—and offers refreshing perspectives on female friendships, writing discipline, and self-compassion. Wilson's advice to her younger self resonates deeply: "When hard times come, they're hard because they're hard, not because there's anything wrong with you."Whether you identify as a people pleaser or simply find yourself perpetually overwhelmed, this episode provides both validation and practical wisdom for reclaiming your boundaries without sacrificing meaningful connections. Listen now for a transformative conversation that might just change how you respond the next time someone asks for "just one more thing."Connect with Amy Wilson Click here:Ready to FEARLESSLY FACE all the F WORDS – be inspired and encouraged?

  Hey y'all, welcome back to the Designed for the Creative Mind Podcast! I'm so glad you're here. We're kicking off a brand new season: Rookie Mistakes and Real Talk — where I'm mixing up business blunders and behind-the-scenes truths from running an interior design firm. Today's episode is for every designer who's ever said “yes” when they really wanted to scream “oh hell no” — and then paid the price for it. We're diving into the sneaky ways people pleasing shows up in client relationships, why it's so damaging to your business, and how to set boundaries like the confident CEO you are (even if you feel a little nasally like I do — thanks, Texas allergies!). What we cover in this episode: What people pleasing actually looks like in an interior design business How saying "yes" all the time leads to scope creep, burnout, and resentment Why being liked is not the same as being trusted — and why trust matters more Real talk about the mindset shift from being "kind" to being a true leader A story about my client Claire, who broke the people-pleasing cycle (and how you can too) Practical examples of how to set confident, kind boundaries without feeling pushy Why you are a business, not a bestie (and why that's a GOOD thing!) Big takeaway: Running your business with clear leadership and boundaries doesn't make you mean — it makes you trustworthy. Your clients want you to lead them. If you're bending over backwards for approval, it's time to rethink it. Being liked isn't nearly as valuable as being trusted. If this episode hit home for you: Take a screenshot and share the one boundary you're going to practice this week! Tag me on Instagram at @designedforthecreativemind or come share in our Facebook group, The Interior Designers' Business Launchpad. I would love to cheer you on! And if you loved what you heard, don't keep it to yourself — send this episode to a fellow designer who could use a little nudge, and leave a review wherever you're listening. Your reviews seriously help this show grow, and I appreciate every single one. Coming up next week: We're tackling why shopping retail could be wrecking your profits and how to explain trade pricing without sounding defensive. You definitely don't want to miss it. Remember: Success doesn't happen by chance — it happens by design. Keep designing your business with intention. And if you ever need a hand, I've got you.   Podcast Website and Resources: Get more info about our year-long mentorship and coaching program: https://www.designedforthecreativemind.com/business-bakery   Text BESTIE to 855-784-8299 for business tips, encouragement, and all our DFCM updates.   SIMPLIFY YOUR MARKETING, SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE.

I am so excited to have podcaster, actor, and author Amy Wilson on the show to talk about her newest book, Happy to Help: Adventures of a People Pleaser.

We talked about so much– Amy's early introduction to putting others first by caring for her younger siblings, why modern productivity advice often just makes us feel bad, Amy's views on perfectionism, saying no and feeling scared, the freedom in saying "it's not for me," and the importance of being present. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Read the show notes for today's episode at terricole.com/708
