You know boundaries matter — so why does saying no still feel like betrayal? This episode exposes the deeper identity-level misalignment and shows you how to create boundaries that don't just work… but feel like you.You know the script: You say yes, even when you're stretched thin. You keep the peace, carry the load, and tell yourself, “This is just what it takes.”But beneath that over-functioning is a quieter truth: Saying no still feels wrong — not because you're weak, but because your identity is wired for performance and approval.In this episode of the Identity-Level Recalibration podcast, Julie Holly shares a deeply personal reflection on the tangled guilt behind boundary-setting — and why sustainable boundaries require an identity shift, not a time hack.You'll explore:The real reason saying no triggers guilt, obligation, and confusionWhy high performers override their own needs, even with the best boundary scriptsA powerful reframe that moves you from resentment to rhythmHow your yes might be protecting a role that's quietly eroding your alignmentYou'll also hear a faith-rooted story about The Best Yes by Lysa TerKeurst — and how one friend's timely suggestion led Julie to rewire her understanding of identity, boundaries, and divine alignment.—Today's Micro Recalibration:Ask yourself:“Where in my life have I been saying yes out of fear or obligation, not alignment?” Then ask: “What would a boundary rooted in self-trust look like in that space?”For leaders:“Where have we been absorbing friction instead of setting clear expectations?”You weren't meant to burn out to be trusted.Sustainable boundaries don't come from behavior tweaks — they come from identity recalibration.RESOURCES:BOOK: The Best Yes, by Lysa TerKeurstIf this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

In this episode, 216. Being Who You Want to Be, I'm diving into one of the most powerful tools I've used with missionaries, mission leaders, parents, and RMs over the past six years—learning to take aligned action. What does that mean? It means checking in with your thoughts and feelings before making decisions or having hard conversations, and making sure they reflect the kind of person you actually want to be. We explore how to lead with love instead of pressure, act with compassion instead of fear, and find confidence in your choices—even when others don't understand them. Whether you're a missionary navigating companion issues, a parent trying to support your kid, or a returned missionary figuring out your next steps, this episode will help you build emotional self-trust and clarity. I'll also share some real-life examples, including how I apply this with my own kids and in my business, and we'll reflect on a beautiful lyric from The Secret Garden that reminds us: the person you're meant to be is already inside you. This is your reminder that you can be intentional. You can be YOU. And when your thoughts and emotions align with your values, you'll show up with peace, purpose, and power. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.

It can get in the way by causing you to overwork (by having no boundaries), communicate poorly (by avoiding conversations or not being direct), or creating more pressure and anxiety (by ruminating). In this episode, you'll see what creates the impulse to people-please, and what to do instead. So you can be intentional in making decisions, and use your people-pleasing awareness for the best.

You can't truly love yourself if you're lying to yourself.And you certainly can't find peace in a version of you that's not real.Because when you try to love a version of yourself that isn't true, it feels empty. It's like people-pleasing: if you sacrifice authenticity for approval, then who are they really approving of? Not the real you. And the same goes for self-approval. If we dress up a lie and call it self-love, we're building a facade that will inevitably crumble.In this episode, you will learn…Why women, in particular, tend to lie to themselves (even more than they lie to others)What all major religions and spiritual teachings say about truth-telling3 simple but profound ways to use honesty as a daily practice of loving yourselfWe'll also explore ideas from authors like bell hooks, George Saunders, Don Miguel Ruiz, and Tara Brach, whose teachings remind us that honesty is the foundation of love.If you've ever felt like self-love doesn't “work” for you, or that you're doing everything but still feel disconnected, this episode might reveal why and inspire you to honestly love yourself.Remember: telling the truth isn't about sharing every secret, it's about staying rooted in what's real. And what's real—no matter how messy—is worthy of love.Deepen your self-love journey with Mary's books:The Gift of Self-Love, an interactive workbook that will help you build confidence, recognize your worth, and learn to finally love yourself.100 Days of Self-Love, a guided journal with 100 prompts to help you calm self-criticism and learn to love who you are.Follow Mary on IG: @maryscupofteaa and @maryspodcastIf you're enjoying this self-love podcast, share it with the women in your life.

In this deeply moving and soul-activating episode, Katie Carey sits down with Dominique Trueman, a guest from the Soulful Poems collaboration, to explore her powerful transformation through creativity, cancer recovery, inner child healing, and the path of living with zero limits. Diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time in 2024, Dominique chose not to see it as a curse, but as a divine invitation to reconnect with her authentic self. In this episode, she courageously shares how peeling back the layers of old belief systems—like unworthiness, people-pleasing, and over-responsibility—has allowed her to reconnect with her creativity, rebuild her relationship with her mother, and awaken to a life of freedom, magic, and true expression. ✨ What we cover in this episode: How Dominique's poetry and creativity were reawakened after years of self-abandonment The impact of childhood trauma, parental mental illness, and taking on too much responsibility too young Why illness can be a wake-up call to slow down, heal, and come back home to yourself Her personal practice of writing to God/source to access divine guidance and write poetry How chronic people-pleasing creates toxicity in the body The sacred healing that happened when she sat beside her mother's hospital bed Why reconnecting to joy, family, creativity, and self-expression matters more than hustle and “success” Practical wisdom on living with presence, purpose, and zero limits
Emily Nader is a Lebanese-American Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), licensed in Texas and Arizona. Through her online private practice, she works with adults in their 20s–40s who've spent years people-pleasing, feeling overwhelmed by anxious thoughts, and losing touch with their authenticity in life and relationships. She's also a dog mom to two chocolate labs, a travel lover, and deeply proud to be a daughter of immigrants.With years of experience supporting clients through anxiety, low self-worth, relationship challenges, and cultural nuance, Emily brings a warm, honest, and deeply validating presence to her work. She's passionate about helping adults stop shrinking just to keep the peace, and start showing up fully in their lives and relationships.In this episode, we unpack the deeper roots of people-pleasing, often shaped by early experiences in unsafe or unpredictable environments. We explore how survival strategies like staying quiet, over-accommodating, or shutting down during conflict can follow us into adulthood, even when they no longer serve us.We reframe guilt that shows up when we start honoring our needs, and talk about how to offer compassion to the parts of us that learned to keep the peace. For anyone who has learned to abandon themselves, we hope this episode can remind you you're not alone and lean into self-trust.

I am honored to connect with Meg Josephson today. She is a psychotherapist holding a Master of Social Work degree from Columbia University, with a concentration in clinical practice. She is also a meditation teacher. In our conversation, we discuss Meg's new book, Are You Mad at Me?, exploring fawning as a survival mechanism and why women are more likely to be conditioned into people-pleasing. We unpack the archetypes she refers to in her book, examining complex PTSD, and why fawners need to redefine their boundaries and acknowledge their grief and anger. Our discussion also touches on finding your voice during perimenopause and menopause, and why awareness is essential for healing. This conversation with Meg Josephson is truly invaluable, and her book is a vital resource for those who have experienced complex trauma in childhood or spent their lives people-pleasing and fawning. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: What fawning is, and why it becomes problematic if we keep on doing it when we are safe Why women and those in minority groups are more susceptible to fawning experiences The six archetypes of people pleasers that Meg describes in her book Finding a voice to describe the experiences you grew up with Rewiring your beliefs to allow the weaknesses of your parents to become your strengths Why grief and anger are so significant for fawners Relating to your emotions rather than trying to erase them Why is it so hard for fawners to maintain their boundaries? How perimenopause and menopause provide an opportunity for women to think more introspectively How healing begins with awareness Understanding that we cannot control the perceptions of others Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow on X Instagram LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Connect with Meg Josephson On social media: @ Meg Josephson Meg's Peace of Mind Substack

Breaking Down Internalized Ableism Summary In this conversation, Patricia explores the concept of internalized ableism, particularly among neurodivergent individuals. She discusses how societal stigma and expectations can lead to negative self-perceptions and feelings of inadequacy. Patricia shares personal experiences and insights on how internalized ableism manifests in various aspects of life, including relationships, self-acceptance, and the pressure to conform to neurotypical standards. She emphasizes the importance of unlearning these hurtful beliefs and embracing one's neurodivergent identity with compassion and understanding. HIGHLIGHTS · Internalized ableism is the unconscious adoption of negative beliefs about oneself due to societal stigma. · Neurodivergent individuals often feel pressure to conform to neurotypical standards, which can lead to trauma. · Resting is a valid need and should not be seen as a failure. · Asking for accommodations is essential for well-being and should not induce guilt. · The concept of 'high functioning' can be harmful and does not reflect true capabilities. · Time agnosia is a common experience for neurodivergent individuals. · Self-compassion is crucial in overcoming internalized ableism. · Relationships can be affected by the fear of being a burden. · Unlearning internalized ableism involves recognizing and challenging societal expectations. · Embracing neurodivergence includes acknowledging strengths and practicing self-acceptance. 115 SPECIFIC POINTS DISCUSSED 1. How internalized ableism shows up in everyday life o Masking, pushing through burnout, or feeling "lazy" when you're resting. 2. Messages we absorbed growing up o From school, parents, peers, or media about being "too much," "distracted," "weird," or "wrong." 3. Perfectionism and people-pleasing as survival o How needing to be “better” or “easy to manage” is often rooted in internalized shame. 4. The trap of “not disabled enough” or “faking it” o How we invalidate our own struggles because we don't “look” stereotypically disabled. 5. ADHD, autism, OCD & “high-functioning” narratives o The myth of being “high functioning” and how it reinforces ableist expectations. 6. Feeling guilt for needing accommodations or rest o That voice that says “you're being difficult” when you ask for what you actually need. 7. Shame around executive dysfunction o Struggling to start tasks, follow through, or manage time — and blaming yourself. 8. Rejecting your own needs to fit in o Forcing eye contact, avoiding stimming, hiding rituals, not using noise-canceling headphones in public, etc. 9. The pressure to be “independent” all the time o How internalized capitalism + ableism equates needing support with being a failure. 10. Comparing yourself to neurotypical peers · Especially in productivity, relationships, or emotional regulation. 11. “If I can do it sometimes, I should always be able to” myth · Inconsistent ability = inconsistent worth? Nope. Talk about spoon theory and fluctuating capacity. 12. How OCD-specific traits are misunderstood or mocked · And how that seeps into how you see yourself (e.g., feeling “crazy,” “irrational,” or “a burden”). 13. Internalized ableism in dating & relationships · Fear of being too much, too emotional, or too rigid — and minimizing yourself as a result. 14. How healing looks like reclaiming your needs unapologetically · Self-accommodation, boundaries, rest, and neurodivergent joy as rebellion. 15. Relearning self-compassion and identity pride · Ending with hope: unmasking, connecting with community, and defining success on your own terms. SOUND BITES · "Rest is resistance." · "You are not broken." · "You deserve rest, joy, and support." SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are. CHAPTERS (please add time for addition of introduction) 00:00 Understanding Internalized Ableism 02:40 The Impact of Societal Expectations 05:31 Navigating Personal Experiences with Internalized Ableism 08:18 The Struggle for Accommodations 10:55 Executive Dysfunction and Inconsistent Abilities 14:01 The Pressure of Productivity 16:53 Feeling 'Not Enough' in Neurodivergence 19:43 Unlearning Internalized Ableism 22:27 Building Self-Compassion and Acceptance PODCAST HOST Patricia was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller. Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion. She created the podcast Unapologetically Sensitive to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges. Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent. Topics covered include: self-care, self-compassion, boundaries, perfectionism, mindfulness, communication, and creating a lifestyle that honors you LINKS Rest Is Resistance: Free yourself from grind culture and reclaim your life by Tricia Hersey.

The Love, Happiness and Success Podcast With Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
Have you ever stared at your phone, rereading a text that ended with a period and spiraled into, “Oh no… are they mad at me?” Or maybe someone didn't heart your Instagram story, and suddenly your nervous system is in full red alert mode. If so, you're not alone. And you're definitely not broken. I'm joined by psychotherapist and author Meg Josephson to talk about the fawn response, a lesser-known trauma response that shows up as people-pleasing, overthinking, and needing to manage how others feel about you.

A lot of times, we think the antidote to burnout is a nap or a vacay (which, no shade, we love a vacay) but a lot of us are struggling with burnout from our own—often *subconscious*—repeated behaviors like perfectionism, overachieving (in an attempt to feel worthy or valid), people pleasing, or not setting appropriate boundaries. AKA, the call is coming from inside the house. In this episode, I welcome therapist and yoga instructor Amanda Baker to join me as we get into all things burnout—what it looks like, the role our nervous systems play in it, and how we heal.

Not seeking approval, not chasing validation, not working endlessly to be admired, loved, or appreciated—who are you then?For many of us, especially those raised in emotionally unstable or high-pressure environments, our identity has been shaped by what others needed from us. We've learned to do in order to be seen. Academic success, over-giving, people-pleasing—these became our masks. And over time, our sense of self became entangled in applause, performance, and conditional love.This is especially true in codependent dynamics: “I need you to need me.” These relationships are built on mutual performance, not authenticity. We rescue to feel worthy. We stay needed to feel needed. But underneath it all, there's fear—who am I if I'm not saving, fixing, doing?The truth? That identity you're clinging to may not be yours at all. It's often a collection of inherited traumas, distorted beliefs, and someone else's wounds bleeding into your story.Healing starts by clearing those internalised stories. Even the subtle, sneaky “little t” traumas—chronic criticism, emotional absence, feeling never enough—shape our nervous system and relationship blueprint. And the work is to disentangle, to reclaim who you truly are without needing to earn your right to exist.Support the showWelcome to Trauma Bonding to Relationship Success with Dr Sarah — the podcast that helps ambitious individuals and couples heal trauma bonding and toxic relationship cycles to build secure attachments and loving healthy relationships.

In today's episode, we dive into part two of the human side of leadership with Angelee, who shares her journey of balancing her leadership role with vulnerability, self-doubt, and authenticity. As a leader in her business, she explores the challenges of showing up fully human, accepting both the strengths and weaknesses that come with it, and how emotional transparency can lead to greater connection and candor with others.This conversation is packed with deep insights on leadership, personal growth, and understanding how to truly show up as yourself, even when it feels uncomfortable. We also get real about the struggles of people-pleasing and the desire to be seen as strong, and how those desires can sometimes conflict with being authentic.About AngeleeAngelee is a Dallas local with a deep passion for intentional living, storytelling, and cultivating genuine connections. With a background spanning retail visual merchandising, marketing, and photo production, her career has always been rooted in creativity and collaboration. These days, she works closely with Le Social, a boutique creative and marketing agency, helping brands bring their vision to life through thoughtful strategy, impactful content, and client engagement. A lifelong hustler with a heart for creative communities, Angelee thrives at the intersection of artistry and entrepreneurship. Always energized by the opportunity to build something meaningful alongside fellow dreamers and doers.Angelee's Leadership Journey: Showing Up as YourselfI start the conversation by asking Angelee about a recent business venture she's embarked on with a close friend. She reflects on the challenge of stepping into leadership, managing a team, and accepting the responsibility of guiding others. However, as an emotionally-driven, empathetic person, she finds it difficult to show up as a strong leader without fearing that her emotions might make her appear weak.Angelee gets candid about her internal battle of wanting to be seen as strong, composed, and in control, but struggling with the reality of her emotions often spilling out in ways that feel beyond her control. She wonders whether showing emotion is a weakness in leadership, but also recognizes that it's part of her authentic self.The Battle of Being Strong vs. Being RealI challenge Angelee with a simple question: What does it mean to be a strong leader? Angelee admits that for her, strength means having the ability to control her emotions, even when she feels overwhelmed or vulnerable. But as she reflects on her own experiences, she realizes that true strength in leadership might not lie in suppressing emotions, but rather in embracing them while staying grounded in the process.I push her to think about whether this perception of strength is truly what makes a great leader or if it's merely a self-imposed expectation. Angelee realizes that strength might look different for everyone, and for her, it's about leading with vulnerability, knowing that it's okay to not always have everything under control.People-Pleasing and the Cost of SacrificeAngelee opens up about her history of people-pleasing tendencies and how they've shaped her as a leader. She talks about how she often finds herself doing things for others out of a desire to be loved and appreciated, which can sometimes lead her to sacrifice her own needs.I help her distinguish between service and sacrifice, pointing out that sacrifice often comes from a place of needing validation, while service comes from a place of abundance and love. Angelee acknowledges that she often confuses the two and that this confusion impacts her ability to lead from a healthy, grounded place.Desire for Individuality and the Fear of Losing ControlThe conversation then turns to the idea of individuality in leadership. Angelee shares her internal struggle of wanting to stand out and be memorable, while also desiring to blend in with the group. She admits that she wants to be seen and appreciated for her uniqueness, but also wrestles with the fear of being too much or too different.I encourage her to embrace her individuality without feeling that it takes away from others. I remind her that being memorable and unique doesn't mean overshadowing others, and that leadership is about finding the balance between standing out and bringing others along.Creating Safe Spaces and Setting BoundariesAs Angelee reflects on her leadership journey, she talks about the importance of creating safe spaces, both for herself and for her team. She shares how, over the years, she's become more intentional about the people she surrounds herself with, focusing on relationships that are built on trust, respect, and emotional safety.She recognizes that setting boundaries is crucial for protecting her own well-being and ensuring that she can show up fully without burning out. I remind her that boundaries aren't about keeping people out, but rather about preserving what matters most so she can continue to serve others from a place of overflow.The Power of Being Human and VulnerableOne of the key themes in this conversation is the power of being human and vulnerable in leadership. We talk about how embracing vulnerability not only helps leaders connect with their teams but also allows for deeper, more authentic relationships. Angelee reflects on how, in the past, she's avoided vulnerability because it felt like a weakness, but now she sees it as a strength that leads to greater candor and connection.I emphasize that being human doesn't mean being perfect. It means showing up with your full self, emotions and all, and allowing others to see you as you are. This kind of transparency creates an environment where others feel safe to do the same, which fosters trust and collaboration.Resources Mentioned Angelee's website: https://www.his-and-her.com/ Follow Angelee on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hisandher___ Join my upcoming free LIVE leadership training at rockygarza.com/confidenceKey Timestamps00:00 Introduction to Unfinished Leadership00:33 Meet Angelique: The Real Story Behind Leadership01:15 The Emotional Journey of Leadership02:52 The Struggle with Emotions in Leadership04:26 The Importance of Being Genuine07:11 Balancing Candor and Control08:54 The Power of Human Connection17:55 Reflecting on Personal Impact21:35 Defining Service vs. Sacrifice22:21 The Struggle with People Pleasing24:08 Desire to Be Memorable24:53 Balancing Individuality and Inclusion27:03 The Importance of Setting Boundaries28:26 Showing Up as Your True Self32:16 The Power of Human Connection42:19 Final Thoughts and EncouragementTo join Rocky for his next free virtual event, go to https://rockygarza.com/beyondsuccessSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/trgs/donations
Would you believe me if I told you I got kicked out of piano when I was 12? Yeah, not my finest moment BUT it was a defining moment. In this episode, I share that story. it wasn't because I lacked talent, but because I lacked passion for it. It was one of the first moments I realized something important: saying "yes" to what others want for you means saying "no" to who you really are.If you've ever struggled with people-pleasing, the fear of disappointing others, or living under someone else's expectations, this episode is your wake-up call. It's time to stop seeking approval and start pursuing purpose — even if it ruffles some feathers along the way.SUBSCRIBE: Never miss an episodeSHARE: Who needs this!?RATE & REVIEW: Give the show a 5 star rating!

Giving feedback to someone else is hard, especially when it involves constructive criticism or even outright bad news. For those who have a need to be liked, we often end up beating around the bush, hiding the feedback in praise, or avoiding the conversation entirely. Naturally, this can have some pretty poor consequences, often worse than if we had just been honest in the first place. This is something that Laura Henshaw knows all too well and has worked incredibly hard to overcome. Laura is the co-founder and CEO of the highly successful KIC App and co-host of the chart-topping KIC podcast. Laura shares: Why you’ll never succeed at getting everyone to like your decisions. The one thing you should prioritise over kindness when giving feedback. Why giving feedback as a "shit sandwich" doesn’t actually work. Listen to the full interview with Laura here.

I'm bringing you behind the scenes of one of the most meaningful panels I've ever been a part of—The Today Show's entrepreneur panel in NYC. I was asked some of the best questions I've ever gotten about identity, confidence, people-pleasing, and the journey of becoming yourself. I open up about what I've learned in the last few years—how I went from running on autopilot to finally feeling whole, how I've healed, and why I no longer chase outside validation. I share how I've found peace, learned to say no without guilt, and how I navigate new chapters of life without fear. Plus, a look at how I start my slower summer days with my full morning routine.
