Episode 273: The Aligned Yes vs. the People-Pleasing Yes | In this episode, we're exploring the difference between an aligned yes and a people-pleasing yes, and how learning to pause before you commit can change your energy, relationships, and manifestations. We'll talk about what alignment really feels like, how to recognize when you're abandoning yourself for approval, and why every yes is a mini-manifestation; a choice that shapes your reality.✨ For more tools to deepen your alignment, visit activatealignexpand.com✨ For exclusive bonus episodes and deeper chats with me, join my Patreon!Connect with Shayla✨ Aligned Access: Bonus Episodes & Exclusive Content on PatreonActivate Align Expand Guided Journal & PlannerActivate Align Expand ProgramActivate Align Expand Affirmation DeckInstagram: @shaylaquinn YouTube: www.youtube.com/shaylaquinn TikTok: @shayla.quinn Website: www.shaylaquinn.com Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/shaylaquinn Learn more about TYIL Program

Episode SummaryIn this deeply human and heartfelt conversation, Chris Schembra sits down with his longtime friend Kirti Naik, a powerhouse brand leader turned soulful storyteller, for an episode that moves beyond titles and accolades into the raw, unfiltered truth of a life well-lived. On this crisp New York City fall day, amid Yom Kippur reflections and the festive spirit of Diwali, Chris and Kirti explore the intertwined forces of fate, love, resilience, and identity.Kirti opens up about her unexpected journey into motherhood and how her daughter, Kiran, became her North Star, pushing her to finish business school while pregnant, guiding her to build a better life, and teaching her lessons in forgiveness and courage. Together, Chris and Kirti unpack the subtle art of pausing in a world obsessed with speed: pausing before responding to an email, pausing to think, pausing to realign with who we are and who we want to become.They delve into the heavy weight and quiet liberation of reputation, how cultural expectations and personal setbacks (like divorce) shape us, and how we can reclaim our own narrative even after painful turning points. Kirti shares how love and partnership with Greg have reshaped her family and her understanding of commitment — beyond paperwork and traditions — into something deeply chosen and resilient.The conversation moves fluidly from practical life strategies (like managing anxiety, editing before you send, embracing imperfection) to profound reflections on destiny (or “amor fati”), legacy, and the humility that comes with decades of personal and professional growth. We hear about parenting in New York City, the courage to let go of perfectionism, and how success is measured not just by business milestones but by the depth of relationships we nurture along the way.This is not a business episode,  it's a blueprint for living with greater presence, courage, and gratitude. Whether you're navigating big career decisions, untangling old expectations, or learning to pause before reacting, Kirti's story is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and embrace the beautiful messiness of life.10 Great Quotes“Kids, don't worry about people knowing you. Make yourself worth knowing.” — Chris (quoting Fiorello LaGuardia) “She was my North Star — the reason I wanted to be a better person, to work harder, and to finish what I started.” — Kirti “Progress comes from movement, not perfection.” — Chris “I've shifted from people pleasing to teaching and communicating what I authentically think.” — Kirti “Precision requires pause. Sometimes waiting 15 minutes changes everything.” — Chris “Reputation is hard to rewrite — but it's not impossible when you lead with honesty and vulnerability.” — Kirti “Material things don't really matter. We don't actually need anything but each other and some Netflix.” — Kirti “We have to rise above business success and find success in our personal lives — the world needs that.” — Chris “Love doesn't have to be defined by societal milestones. Commitment can be something deeply chosen.” — Kirti “It's humbling to realize we're still learning — not about tools or tactics, but about ourselves.” — Kirti 10 Key TakeawaysPause Before You React — Writing a draft and waiting before sending helps you edit, clarify, and prevent future missteps. Redefine Reputation — Your past doesn't have to define you; vulnerability and new actions can reshape how others see you. Parenthood as Catalyst — Unexpected life events, like surprise motherhood, can bring purpose and resilience you didn't know you had. Move from People Pleasing to Authenticity — Stop avoiding conflict; respectfully communicate your needs and boundaries. Love Beyond Paperwork — Lasting commitment isn't about traditional milestones but about shared choice and partnership. Cultural Expectations Can Be Rewritten — Even deeply ingrained norms can shift when you choose your own happiness and truth. Imperfection Is Human — Let go of needing to be flawless; aim for 80–90% and move forward. True Success Is Relational — The depth of mentorship, family bonds, and love defines life more than job titles. Anxiety Can Be Managed with Pause — Small intentional habits — like stepping back before acting — can reduce fear and increase control. Fate vs. Coincidence — Sometimes the unexpected (from your child's name to life detours) is guiding you toward who you're meant to become.

Do you ever find yourself hustling for your worth or looking for it in all the wrong places? You are not alone. Too many girls and women are lost and wandering, endlessly seeking security and approval in places and things that never satisfy. In this episode, Brittany Maher, Cassandra Speer, and Allie Smith talk about how our value doesn't rise and fall with opinions or performance — it's anchored in the unshakable truth of Jesus. We pray that you will be encouraged and equipped to live with unshakable confidence in who God says you are and stop measuring your worth by the world's ever-changing metric system.   Episode Topics: Knowing your value in Christ changes everything. True worth is found in God's word, not in worldly standards. We often attach our identities to counterfeit measures. The journey to discovering true worth is ongoing. Confronting the lies you have believed is essential to embracing our true identity. People-pleasing can lead to a cycle of seeking approval in areas where we weren't meant to. We must identify and pull the weeds in our lives to walk in our true worth and calling. Our past mistakes do not determine our worth. Living securely in our identity in Christ allows us to fulfill the purpose God created us for.   Episode Chapters: 00:00 Empowering Women Through Identity in Christ 02:53 The Journey to Discovering True Worth 06:02 Understanding Our Identity in Christ 08:55 Confronting Lies and Embracing Truth 11:39 The Battle Against Counterfeit Identities 14:41 The Impact of People-Pleasing 17:46 Practical Steps to Embrace True Worth 20:40 The Freedom Framework for Transformation 23:46 Words of Wisdom for Our Younger Selves   Important Links: Brittany + Cassandra's book "Her True Worth" Visit our website: https://wonderfullymade.org/  Get our Free Guide:  "15 Social Media Boundaries to Protect Your Joy" Get Allie's newest book “Social Media Reset” Get Allie's book “Wonderfully Made” Join our Love Her A'Latte Campaign — help make our podcast possible Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok Visit our website: https://wonderfullymade.org/

What if setting boundaries isn't about pushing people away — but about finally choosing yourself?

Self-compassion is a powerful, learnable skill in eating disorder recovery. In this conversation with registered social worker, grain farmer, and mom of five, Carrie Pollard, MSW, we explore how compassion lowers shame, supports motivation, and helps people replace harmful coping with kinder, sustainable care. We talk about trauma-informed treatment, somatic awareness, DBT skills, and what self-compassion looks like in real sessions and real life. What You'll Learn What self-compassion really is: noticing suffering and responding to it with care, based on the Mindful Self-Compassion model by Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer. Why “the why” matters: exploring roots like trauma and chronic stress helps people understand why symptoms once protected them and how to meet those needs differently. Behavioral tools and deeper work together: how CBT, FBT, and skills work can sit alongside bottom-up, body-based approaches and insight-oriented therapy. Backdraft in self-compassion: why big feelings can surge when kindness finally lands, and how to ride emotional waves safely. Somatic cues and capacity: using body signals, boundaries, and micro-pauses to prevent overload, especially for high-achieving, people-pleasing clients. Rural and farmer mental health: unique barriers to care, higher anxiety and depression in farm communities, and why accessible, virtual support matters. Key Takeaways Self-compassion reduces shame and increases motivation, which supports behavior change in anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, ARFID, and long-term recovery. You can ask two steady questions throughout healing: What am I feeling? and What am I needing? Emotional waves peak and pass. Skills from DBT and mindful self-compassion help you surf them without self-criticism. Recovery grows when systems of care address trauma, body image, diet culture, and access barriers faced by rural, disabled, neurodivergent, and larger-bodied people. Guest Carrie Pollard, MSW is a registered social worker in Ontario, Canada, @compassionate_counsellor. She brings two decades of clinical experience, deep community ties in agriculture, and a trauma-informed lens to eating disorder treatment. She co-founded a national farmer mental health initiative and participates in the Waterloo-Wellington Eating Disorder Coalition.

Notable Moments Naming self-compassion backdraft so clients can expect it and feel less afraid. Using hand-over-heart and paced breathing when words are hard. Reframing symptoms as once-useful survival strategies, then building new supports. Embracing imperfection in therapy and life to align with authenticity and values. Who This Episode Supports People in eating disorder recovery who feel stuck in shame or fear that kindness will make them “stop trying.” Clinicians seeking to integrate mindful self-compassion, somatic work, and DBT with behavioral protocols. Rural and farming families who need accessible, culturally aware care options. Neurodivergent folks and anyone navigating sensory overload, perfectionism, or people-pleasing.

In this powerful episode, Heather Creekmore continues October’s "Fear Free Fall” series by digging deep into the often-hidden fear of rejection and how it influences our lives. She unpacks how perfectionism and people-pleasing are tightly related to our need to feel accepted and loved. Through personal stories, relatable examples, and biblical truth, Heather unravels the underlying self-protective strategies we adopt—and how the gospel offers real freedom and grace. Key Topics Covered: What is the Fear of Rejection?Heather explores how this fear drives us and manifests as perfectionism and people-pleasing. She explains that these are self-protective strategies formed by our desire for secure love, belonging, and worth. Perfectionism:Often, we think, “If I get it right, then I’ll be enough.” Heather shares a personal story from college when a single missed typo made her feel immense shame, showing how perfectionism can lead to exhaustion and shame rather than peace. People-Pleasing:The fear that “If I make everyone happy, I’ll be safe.” Heather discusses how people-pleasing is not true peacekeeping or biblical peacemaking and how it can even impact our ability to follow God’s call if the opinions of others control us. Where Does This Come From?Heather highlights how these tendencies usually aren’t intentional—they’re often formed in childhood, at school, or through life experiences that taught us we’d be safer if we kept everyone happy or never made mistakes. How It Affects Others:Unchecked, perfectionism and people-pleasing can also lead us to have unrealistic expectations of others, continuing the cycle for those around us. The Gospel’s Answer:True freedom is found not in earning love and acceptance from people (or God), but in embracing grace. Heather reminds us that Jesus took on ultimate rejection so we can be fully accepted by God, no matter how we perform. A Challenge to Listeners:Heather encourages us to check our motives—are we striving for approval from people or resting in God’s approval? She challenges listeners to shift their perspective from a “people-big, God-small” view to a “God-big, people-small” mindset for greater confidence and peace. Memorable Quotes: “Perfectionism is a fear of inadequacy dressed up as excellence.” “People pleasing is not biblical peacemaking—it’s a form of self-protection.” “You can never be perfect or please everyone, but you are already fully accepted in Jesus.” “Freedom comes when you realize you can’t earn grace—it's a gift.” Resources & Next Steps: Visit heathercreekmore.com for free resources, courses, coaching, and Heather’s books Sign up for the free 10-day encouragement email series!

Gaslighting, guilt-tripping, and emotional neglect don't just leave scars — they leave you doubting your own instincts. Many people walk away from manipulative relationships asking, “Can I ever trust myself again?” In this episode, we explore how manipulation erodes self-trust, why trauma creates cycles of self-doubt and people-pleasing, and — most importantly — how to rebuild your confidence in your intuition. Using insights from psychology, trauma research, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), you'll learn step-by-step practices for reconnecting with your body, honoring your decisions, and setting boundaries without guilt.

Welcome to the Like Attracts Like Mindshift Challenge! Over the next 21 days, we are dropping a podcast a day with our most powerful mindset shifts and techniques. Join us as we go on a journey of self discovery and uncover the truth of who we are. On Day 12, we discuss the concepts of people pleasing and imposter syndrome. We keep people in our lives that help us reinforce the stories we've been telling. As we shift identities, the people externally will exist to challenge the new beliefs we are creating.  Action Step Today:  Think about the people in your life right now, and ask yourself these questions to examine if either of these two energies are at play: People pleasing: How are people outside of you responding to the changes you're making, and how does that mirror you're level of sureness? Are you dropping back down to your old beliefs to make other people feel comfortable? Imposter Syndrome: Do you feel guilt for wanting a better life?  Are you experiencing feelings of "leaving people behind"? These are all tricks we will use to drop back down to our old story.    As always, if you want to discuss how any of these topics pertain to a specific area of your life, book a mindset shift session below: 1:1 Mindset & Performance Mentorship Calls: If you would like to book a session to move forward in the area discussed in this show or any other areas of your life, visit link below for further resources or booking schedule  https://hoo.be/patmahan   CONNECT WITH ME ON: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/likeattractslike11 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelikeattractslikepodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRDc1pT4/

Harvard-trained psychologist Dr. Lorwen Nagel, who worked with the Dalai Lama, explains overthinking and people-pleasing. Why we do it, how it holds us back, and what to do about it.

This is episode 2 in my people-pleasing deep-dive! One of our biggest fears as people-pleasers is speaking up for ourselves during conflict—it can literally make us feel like we're going to pass out from anxiety! So how do we move from the knee-jerk "Sounds good, no worries!" to a thoughtful, authentic: "Actually, here's what I need..."? In this epi, psychologist, author, relationship expert, and podcast host Dr. Tracy Dalgleish joins me to get into what's underlying our people-pleasing patterns, why people-pleasing actually leads to MORE conflict, and how we heal. Looking for more episodes on people-pleasing? Try epi 91, epi 87, epi 86, or epi 30. For more on boundary setting, try epi 10, epi 46, or epi 61.Want to work with Remy?

Back when smart-phones were just beginning to saturate the market, I distinctly remember thinking that one of the best features they had to offer was 'Notifications'. Now, of course we'd had text-message notifications for year, but now notifications could come from an almost infinite number of sources. Emails could be read without even unlocking your phone. Health apps could gently nudge us to stand up five minutes at a time. The possibilities seemed endless, but little did we all know at the time how quickly that connectedness would lead to burnout. The same is true in an attorney-client relationship.My guest this week captures this struggle in her newest book, writing, “the way I practiced law had become too emotionally overwhelming [...] but in hindsight, it's a wonder I didn't burnout sooner.”Cindy Rendon is an Attorney specializing in Family Law and Personal Injury matters & the author of, "Judge Me Not: An Attorney's Journey from Burnout to Recovery"Having practiced in both the public and private sectors, in 2012 Cindy would found her own Firm, and while her practice would thrive in the coming decade, Cindy would struggle to balance her desire to help her clients with a need to take care of herself. On this week's episode, she shares her journey & the wisdom gained along the way. Enjoy the show!

Or smiling through discomfort because it felt safer than speaking your truth? That's not just people-pleasing—it's survival. Psychologist and author Dr. Ingrid Clayton calls it the fawn response: a trauma pattern where your body learns to appease, perform, or caretake as a way to stay safe. It's not a conscious choice—it's conditioning written into the nervous system when speaking up once felt dangerous. In this raw and illuminating conversation, Dr. Clayton joins Dr. G to explore: • What fawning really is — and why it's more than just “being too nice” • The childhood roots of fawning: when kids learn to appease to survive chaos, neglect, or abuse • Why fawning often gets misdiagnosed as codependency, people-pleasing, or “low self-esteem” • The hidden signs: hypervigilance, scanning the room for other people's moods, anxiety you don't even recognize as anxiety • Gaslighting yourself — how trauma survivors often minimize their own experiences with toxic positivity or “it wasn't that bad” narratives • Why setting boundaries can feel life-threatening — and why it must start with building safety inside your own body, not just “trying harder” • The link between fawning and anger: how unexpressed rage gets trapped in the body until you learn to give it voice • How fawning shows up in adulthood: in relationships where one person takes up 80% of the space and you squeeze yourself into the other 20% • Why siblings in the same household adapt differently — one might fight, another flees, another fawns, depending on role, temperament, and family dynamics • The gifts hidden inside fawning: heightened sensitivity, intuition, even artistry and performance — and how to reclaim those without losing yourself Dr. Clayton also shares her personal story: growing up in a chaotic home, becoming a therapist and author, and realizing that even after decades of training, she was still living out this survival response. Her journey shows how awareness, somatic work, and slow, safe practice can turn survival patterns into resilience and presence. If you've ever felt invisible, unheard, or like you're living for everyone but yourself—this episode will help you see that you're not broken. You're adaptive. And you can change.

In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, we're talking about the real stuff women face in midlife when it comes to health and fitness - the perfectionism that keeps you stuck, feeling like everyone's watching you at the gym, managing stress without burning out, and what to do when your partner just doesn't seem to support your goals. If you've ever felt like you have to “do it all” or that you're failing if it's not perfect, this one's for you. We're breaking down why perfectionism isn't your personality - it's a learned coping skill and how to finally loosen that grip so you can actually make progress and feel good doing it. In this episode, we dive into: Perfectionism & unrealistic expectations Gym intimidation & building confidence Self-compassion & stress management Partners not on board with your goals Grab your coffee, get comfy, and let's get real about what it actually takes to stay consistent, confident, and sane while working on your goals in midlife. ✨Ready to join us inside the Healthy & Hot Method?

The survival strategy of fawning may have once kept you safe, but it can leave you disconnected, resentful, and exhausted. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Ingrid Clayton, psychologist and author of Fawning: The Cost of People-Pleasing and the Courage to Break Free, joins Christine to unpack trauma and specifically the trauma response of fawning.

What do you really want the second half of your life to look like?  Being a doormat for others, then resenting it? Saying yes, when you really mean no? Doing more tasks or more work, taking responsibility for everything, and feeling overwhelmed in your life?  This can be how so many of us in midlife feel, but I'm here to tell you there IS another way.  In this episode, I sit down with expert Beatriz Albina to talk about a challenge so many women face but can't always name—patterns of overgiving, perfectionism, and the ultimate people-pleasing trap.  Beatriz introduces the concept of emotional outsourcing and how it quietly drives these behaviors, leaving us feeling stuck and drained.  Together, we discuss how reframing your mindset is a powerful tool for reclaiming your emotional well-being. Plus, Beatriz gives us a sneak peek into her brand-new book, End Emotional Outsourcing—a guide to finding freedom, balance, and true self-connection. Tune in here to reignite joy in your life, and find the inner peace you've been craving for years!  Beatriz Albina Beatriz (Béa) Albina, NP, MPH, SEP (she/her) is a UCSF-trained Family Nurse Practitioner, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Master Certified Somatic Life Coach, and author of the book "End Emotional Outsourcing: a Guide to Overcoming Codependent, Perfectionist and People Pleasing Habits". She's dedicated to helping people socialized as women reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and rewire their minds to break free from codependency, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. Béa hosts the Feminist Wellness Podcast, and holds a Master's degree in Public Health from Boston University School of Public Health and a BA in Latin American Studies from Oberlin College. IN THIS EPISODE What is emotional outsourcing, and how can it impact women?  Getting back to the basics for our emotional needs  How our emotions lie in our nervous system– not just our minds   Calming techniques you can do in 5 seconds, anytime, anywhere Detaching from labels like ‘co-dependent' and ‘perfectionist'  How to stay regulated while also setting boundaries  Why reframing your mindset is so important for healing  All about Beatriz's book: End Emotional Outsourcing  QUOTES “This is what happens when we get activated or triggered in our nervous system. When we start being mean to ourselves, when we ignore our impulses, when we project, when we take things personally, when we get offended, all these things– our nervous system is in a different time and place.”  “That's the self-worth work. Saying, ‘I trust myself, I believe in myself, and so I know that this isn't a problem.' And that's that. Not allowing any other thoughts to enter your beautiful mind space, your world, your body. It's really vital work.”  “What our children and our partners, and our friends and our communities and ourselves want and need from us the most, most, most, is presence.

What if I told you that one of the sneakiest ways scarcity shows up in business isn't about money at all…it's about people-pleasing? In today's episode of Your Limitless Life, I'm pulling back the curtain on how I've caught myself making decisions from a place of fear — saying yes when I wanted to say no, over-delivering to prove my worth, and prioritizing what other people wanted over what actually felt aligned for me. If you've ever felt guilty for setting boundaries or found yourself hustling to keep everyone happy, this episode is going to set you free.   Links: The Empowered Women's Collective Your Limitless Adventures Group Trips Connect With Me: Instagram: @macs_explore Threads: @macs_explore

It does not build self-worth. It brings down your worth." - Lewis HowesLewis opens up about spending decades trapped in a cycle of saying yes to everything - not because he wanted to, but because he feared what people would think if he didn't. The constant people-pleasing wasn't creating connection; it was creating an internal war that drained his energy and destroyed his self-worth. He breaks down the harsh truth: when you're doing things solely for validation or to be liked, you're not protecting your peace - you're giving it away. This isn't about obligations or genuine commitments you've made; it's about those draining requests from people who only want to take, the favors that leave you feeling empty, the yeses you give just to stay in someone's good graces. Lewis challenges the belief that courage means suffering alone, revealing instead that real courage is about having the strength to ask for support and set boundaries without guilt.Lewis delivers a practical framework for reclaiming your energy and building genuine self-worth. He walks through the questions you need to ask yourself before saying yes: Am I doing this for me or for validation? Am I giving because I want to, or because I need to be liked? He introduces a simple but powerful practice - saying no to just one small thing today, even if it feels terrifying. The insight that "rejection of an opportunity is not a rejection of you" reframes how we think about boundaries entirely. Lewis reminds us that courage isn't the absence of fear - it's resistance to fear, mastery of fear. When you stop letting fear of rejection control your decisions, you finally create space for the peace and self-worth you've been searching for.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

I'm so excited to welcome back Beatriz (Béa) Victoria Albina to talk about something so many of us quietly wrestle with: emotional outsourcing. Béa is a master certified somatic life coach, UCSF-trained family nurse practitioner, and breath work meditation guide who helps humans socialized as women break free from codependency, perfectionism, and people-pleasing so they can reclaim their joy. A lot of what we cover in today's episode shows up in her brand new book End Emotional Outsourcing. We dig into what emotional outsourcing really is, how we hand over our sense of safety, belonging and worth to everyone and everything outside of ourselves, and the ripple effect that has on boundaries, relationships and your nervous system. Béa explains why talk therapy alone can leave you stuck, what is actually happening when you freeze in the moment, and how perfectionism can sneak into healing and personal growth. And because you know I love practical takeaways, Béa shares simple somatic tools you can use right now to come back home to yourself. These small but powerful shifts help you rebuild self trust and stop outsourcing your emotional wellness.
