In this rerelease episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon explores the different ways people pleasing can appear and how qualities such as loyalty, caretaking, peacemaking, and a desire to help can become unhealthy when boundaries disappear. He discusses five people-pleasing archetypes and how trauma, childhood experiences, financial insecurity, oppression, and stigma can shape these patterns. Brandon also examines fawning as a survival response within abusive relationships. He discusses walking on eggshells, suppressing your needs, taking responsibility for another person's emotions, and changing yourself to avoid conflict or retaliation. The episode concludes with ways survivors can begin reconnecting with their identity, recognizing their needs, creating boundaries, and learning that caring for others should not require abandoning themselves.

Recover Your Soul: A Spiritual Path to a Happy and Healthy Life
If you're a parent, you probably know this feeling.No matter how old our children are, we never stop wanting to protect them. We want to guide them, encourage them, and help them avoid some of the heartache we experienced ourselves.I've been thinking about that a lot lately.As my own boys have grown into adulthood, I've realized that one of the greatest invitations of this stage of parenting isn't learning how to love them more. It's learning how to trust their journey while continuing to love them deeply.For a long time, I believed that if one of my children was struggling, it was my job to figure out how to make it better. I thought worrying meant I was being a good mom. I thought helping meant offering advice, solving problems, and trying to keep them from making mistakes or being uncomfortable.But my own healing has gently shown me something different.What if our adult children aren't ours to fix, change or even to tell them what to do?What if they're here to have their own unique human experience, learning through both their joys and their challenges on their soul journey?What if loving them doesn't mean keeping them from discomfort, but trusting that even the difficult parts of their journey have purpose too. That doesn't mean we stop caring. It doesn't mean we stop loving or even supporting in a healthy way.It simply means we begin releasing the belief that their happiness determines our own.This conversation isn't about becoming a perfect parent. I certainly haven't been one. It's about exploring another way of seeing.One that has brought so much more peace into my own heart.If you've been lying awake worrying about your adult children, wishing you could make different choices for them, or wondering how to love them without losing yourself, I hope you'll find something in this conversation that may shift how you are seeing the situation and the people in your life- and in the end you find a little peace. In This EpisodeWhy worrying can quietly become another form of trying to controlSeeing your adult children through love instead of fearHow our own discomfort often fuels our desire to fix someone else's lifeWhy acceptance becomes a path to peaceTrusting your adult children's soul journey while continuing to love them deeply with healthy detachmentReleasing the belief that someone else's happiness determines your ownReturning your attention to your own healing and spiritual awakeningA Few Questions to Sit WithWhere am I carrying responsibility that isn't mine?What fears come up when I imagine letting go of control?Can I love someone deeply without trying to change them?What might become possible if I trusted both my journey and theirs?Continue Your Soul Recovery Journey

Female Empowerment Podcast - SELBSTLIEBE I WEIBLICHKEIT I WOHLFÜHLKÖRPER
Ich freue mich euch heute mal wieder mehr in meine Welt mit zu nehmen und meine Prozesse der letzten Monate zu teilen
Have you ever looked like you had everything under control while quietly falling apart inside? Have you ever thought, "I'm fine. I just need to get through this." Or maybe... "I don't want to be difficult." "I don't want to inconvenience anyone." Today I'm sharing a much more personal story than I usually do. What was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime family trip ended with three broken ribs, a collapsed lung, and a hospital stay — and it forced me to confront something I'd been minimizing for years. This isn't really a story about a vacation gone wrong. It's about people-pleasing. It's about powering through pain. It's about how easy it is to ignore your own needs while making sure everyone else is comfortable. And it's about why those patterns matter so much when you're building an alcohol-free life.

Are you dimming your truth online to avoid ruffling feathers — and wondering why your business still feels stuck? What if the fear stopping you from posting that reel and the reason you're overextending for clients are actually the same problem wearing different masks?In this episode, Kathryn explores the deep, often invisible connection between people-pleasing, perfectionism, and the way both quietly erode your business, your relationships, and your sense of self. Using her own experience of shoving a creative offer through a "meat grinder" of strategy and her pattern of absorbing responsibilities in client work, she illustrates how this root issue doesn't stay contained — it whack-a-moles its way across every area of your life.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL DISCOVER:● How people-pleasing isn't just a social media problem but a deeply rooted pattern that silently shapes your offers, your client relationships, your partnerships, and even the personal boundaries you either hold or abandon to keep the peace.● Why perfectionism — spending hours perfecting Canva graphics, rewriting hooks, or waiting until something feels polished enough — is actually the very thing destroying the connection and relatability you're desperately trying to create with your audience.● How the "whack-a-mole" effect works in real time, meaning that when you build the muscle to show up online but ignore where the same fear is surfacing in your business partnerships or client dynamics, the energy leak simply migrates rather than disappears.● Why speaking your truth — whether it's posting the imperfect reel, stating a boundary with a client who expects overnight turnarounds, or saying "that timeline isn't realistic" — is not unkind but is in fact the most compassionate thing you can do for yourself and everyone around you.And while you're here, follow us on Instagram @creativelyowned for more daily inspiration on effortlessly attracting the most aligned clients without spending hours marketing your business or chasing clients.

Poser des limites est l'un des plus grands défis des femmes leaders. Dans cet épisode du podcast Sensées, Jenny Chammas, mastercoach certifiée et fondatrice de Coachappy, met des mots sur une posture très répandue : celle de la “bonne poire”. Cette tendance à faire passer les besoins des autres avant les siens, à éviter l'inconfort, à prendre sur soi pour que tout le monde aille bien. À travers cet épisode, vous allez comprendre pourquoi ne pas poser des limites vous coûte cher - en énergie, en reconnaissance, en argent et en impact - et comment changer de posture sans renier qui vous êtes.Être une leader “bonne poire”, c'est souvent assurer partout : au travail, à la maison, émotionnellement pour les autres. C'est ne pas dire les choses, ne pas faire les feedbacks nécessaires, accepter des retards, des débordements, des responsabilités qui ne sont pas les vôtres. C'est aussi porter la charge émotionnelle de son équipe, de sa famille, de son entourage, jusqu'à s'oublier soi-même. Jenny montre comment cette incapacité à poser des limites mène progressivement à l'épuisement, à la perte de sens et à une baisse de l'estime de soi.Dans cet épisode, vous explorez aussi l'autre posture possible : celle de la leader “bad ass”. Une leader qui reste empathique, mais qui ne se sacrifie plus. Une leader qui sait poser des limites, affirmer ses besoins, valoriser son travail et assumer ses choix sans culpabilité. Contrairement aux idées reçues, cette posture ne rend ni dure ni froide : elle permet au contraire d'exercer un leadership plus juste, plus clair et plus durable.Ce que vous saurez faire après écoute :– Identifier les situations où vous avez du mal à poser des limites.– Comprendre le lien entre people pleasing, culpabilité et manque d'estime de soi.– Mesurer le coût réel de la posture de “bonne poire” dans votre vie professionnelle et personnelle.– Développer une posture plus affirmée sans perdre votre empathie.– Faire de vos besoins une boussole légitime dans vos décisions de leader.Jenny partage également des réflexions clés sur la responsabilité émotionnelle, la peur de déplaire et l'importance de cultiver une estime de soi solide pour sortir des schémas de suradaptation. Cet épisode est une invitation à arrêter de ramasser les miettes et à prendre pleinement votre place - au travail, à la maison et dans votre vie.
Have you ever felt like you lost a piece of yourself to gain acceptance? Maurice shares insights on how survival instincts can quiet our true voices, pushing us into roles that block our purpose. This episode asks us to consider who we stopped being and why, urging us to reclaim our authentic selves. Chapter Summary:00:00 Reclaiming Your Authentic Self04:16 Who Voted for This Version of You?08:39 Give Your Authentic Self a Voice11:15 Join the WIN Inner CircleFeatured Quotes:“Survival often silences our authenticity.” - Maurice“Your truest self, it still exists, but it's waiting.” - Maurice“You cannot fulfill a purpose that you've buried.” - Maurice Behind the Story: Maurice discusses how individuals often change in relationships, neighborhoods, and workplaces to gain acceptance. This shift can lead to people-pleasing and purpose-blocking, where one's true self is buried. He recounts personal experiences of compromising his leadership to accommodate others' insecurities, highlighting the importance of giving your authentic self a voice again.
Why do so many high performers struggle with people-pleasing, fear of judgment, self-doubt, and the pressure to constantly prove themselves? In this episode of Daily Influence, Gregg Koleno speaks with Dr. Liz DuBois Erskine, PhD conflict analyst and executive coach, about breaking the patterns that undermine confidence, leadership, and personal fulfillment. Dr. Liz shares how her own experiences with trauma, coercive relationships, recovery, and healing shaped her approach to helping leaders overcome self-sabotage and develop authentic executive presence. She explains why people-pleasing is often rooted in a deep need for safety and belonging—and why external validation can become especially costly for high performers and leaders. The conversation also explores how to identify the source of self-doubt, build a healthier support system, stand firmly in your values, and lead effectively in environments where you may feel underestimated or overlooked. Most importantly, Dr. Liz challenges listeners to stop trying to be exceptional at everything. Real confidence begins by recognizing what you do best, accepting that perfection is unnecessary, and sharing your strengths with others. In this episode: • Why people-pleasing is often driven by the need for safety and belonging • How past experiences can shape confidence, relationships, and leadership behavior • The connection between self-sabotage, burnout, and external validation • Practical ways to build authentic confidence and stronger self-trust • How to develop executive presence without changing who you are • Why the right community can strengthen confidence and belonging • How women can stand firmly in their values in male-dominated environments • Why knowing your greatest strengths is more important than being good at everything Learn more about Dr. Liz DuBois Erskine at coachdoctorliz.com

There's one childhood question that's secretly running your whole adult life. Aaron Doughty asks it straight: who did you have to be as a kid to receive Mom or Dad's love? Whoever that was became the role you're still performing, the pattern you keep mistaking for your identity. Aaron built a YouTube following of over a million people teaching exactly this kind of subconscious pattern work, and in this conversation he walks through his SHIFT framework for breaking free of people pleasing, self reliance, and the need to be liked. You'll hear why the dark side of people pleasing is buried anger, why setting a boundary can make you look like the bad guy before it makes you free, and why someone else's tension was never actually your job to manage. Aaron also opens up about losing his mom, the message she sent him two hours before she died, and what he now believes real freedom actually feels like. Aaron's Instagram Aaron's YouTube Aaron's Facebook Join The Shift Academy In this episode you will: Learn the SHIFT framework for breaking the subconscious patterns that keep you stuck Discover why people pleasing is a childhood survival strategy, not a personality trait Recognize the difference between healing someone and enabling them Overcome the fear of being disliked or misunderstood Build a new relationship to boundaries, tension, and authentic expression For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1959 More SOG episodes we think you'll love!

Episode Description: You eat perfectly all day. You are disciplined, productive, hitting every goal. And then night hits, the phone goes down, the day is over, and something takes over. You are not broken. You are wired. Amber Romaniuk is an emotional eating, hormone, and digestive health expert who has been doing this work for over a decade. She knows what it is to eat tables full of food in one sitting. To throw food away and go back to the dumpster for it. To lose and regain over a thousand pounds across five years. And she knows how that pattern started, what was underneath it, and how it ends. This conversation goes far beneath the behavior into the nervous system, the hormones, the gut, and the childhood wounds that drive the whole cycle. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why high achieving women who are disciplined in every other area of their lives are often the most susceptible to emotional eating, and why no amount of external success can fill the internal void that is driving it • How people pleasing drives cortisol, suppresses progesterone, tanks thyroid function, and creates the exact hormonal environment that makes nighttime cravings feel impossible to resist • The three questions to ask yourself the moment a craving hits at night to tell the difference between physical and emotional hunger, and how to start rewiring the neural pathway that has been lighting up every evening This is not about willpower. It is about what is underneath.

The Liberated Life - Set Yourself Free in Business and Pleasure
We're taught that staying calm, letting it go, and being the bigger person is the mature, high-road move. But sometimes "keeping the peace" is just another way of abandoning yourself — and every time you swallow it, smooth it over, or let it slide, you're quietly teaching people what you'll tolerate. In this episode, Robin Quinn Keehn unpacks the difference between real calm — the kind rooted in self-trust and clear boundaries — and the performance of calm that slowly erodes your self-respect. You'll learn why the calmest person in the room actually holds the most authority, how to tell when "being gracious" has tipped into self-betrayal, and what it sounds like to say the last calm word in a way that keeps you honest instead of just keeping everyone else comfortable. If you've ever walked away from a conversation calm on the outside and hollow on the inside, this one's for you. In this episode: • Why "being the bigger person" can be self-betrayal in disguise • The difference between keeping the peace and keeping your integrity • How staying silent teaches people what you'll tolerate • What the calmest, most grounded response actually sounds like
The binary was never the point. Individualism on one side, collectivism on the other — pick a jersey, join a team. But the line that actually matters runs somewhere else: between a person who has a self and a person who has dissolved into the group. In this episode, Joel and Yerasimos pull the threads on what collectivism is actually doing to the psyche — the altruistic programming that weaponizes moral guilt against your own desires, the truth-seeker community that becomes its own herd, and the envy that surfaces when you watch someone else stop asking permission to live. The conversation moves through Rand's virtue of selfishness, Jung's safe road, and the heroic act of individuation.

Do you go silent mid-argument and only find the words hours later in the shower? Stay in a situationship you can't end? Become whoever they need that week until you can't find your own taste anymore? In this vulnerable solo episode of The Sabrina Zohar Show, Sabrina unpacks the freeze, fawn, and flop behaviors that get mislabeled as being chill, low maintenance, or the "cool girl." She explains why people-pleasing is really self-abandonment, why going blank isn't you being broken, and why the avoidant "they don't care" story is a lie we tell ourselves to feel better. Through raw personal stories about chasing older men, buying concert tickets to be chosen, and finally coming home to herself, Sabrina reframes these patterns as survival skills you can actually change. If you deal with anxiety, decision paralysis, overthinking, situationships, attachment wounds, or feeling "too much" or "too cold," this one is for you. There is nothing wrong with you, and it's time to stop earning everyone's love except your own. Pre-order Sabrina's book coming out October 2026, "Why Am I Like This?"

Your true self is the authentic, pure essence of who you were before the world taught you to become someone else. Today, I'm talking about what the true self really is and how we can begin reconnecting with it. When we are born, we come in with our true essence. But as we grow up, we begin adapting, changing, and creating a false self so we can feel loved, accepted, safe, and like we belong. Over time, this false self can cover up the truth of who we really are. We may lose touch with what we feel, what we need, what nourishes us, and what helps us feel connected to ourselves. But the good news is that anyone can begin to rediscover and live from their true self. In this episode, I'm sharing five simple ways to reconnect with your true self: getting in touch with your emotions, tuning into your needs, practicing self-care, using breathwork, and journaling. These practices help us slow down, listen inward, and begin claiming the parts of ourselves we may have hidden, forgotten, or pushed away. Key Takeaways The true self is your authentic self, the pure essence of who you were born as The false self develops as we adapt to feel safe, loved, accepted, and like we belong Many of us disconnect from our emotions because we were never taught how to feel them Reconnecting with your emotions helps you access deeper parts of yourself Your needs are different from your wants, and learning to identify them is essential Asking for what you need is part of living from your true self Self-care is not selfish. It is self-loving Practicing self-care supports self-worth and helps you reconnect with who you really are Breathwork can help release stuck emotions and take you deeper into yourself Journaling helps you access your unconscious mind, higher self, and deeper inner wisdom Rediscovering your true self happens through awareness, validation, and small daily practices MORE MICHELLE CHALFANT Website: https://www.michellechalfant.com Membership: The Adult Chair® Collective https://www.michellechalfant.com/collective Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themichellechalfant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfant The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant
Send us Fan MailBeing reliable is a strength. Being endlessly available is a trap.Being the strong one can look like leadership, loyalty, and discipline. But when everyone leans on you and nobody checks on you, strength can quietly turn into burnout, resentment, and emotional exhaustion.In this episode of The Mindset Cafe, we break down the hidden cost of always being dependable, why strong people struggle to ask for help, and how reliability can become invisibility when you never admit what you need. This is not about becoming weak. It is about becoming sustainable.The strongest people build systems so they do not have to survive on willpower alone.You will learn how to spot the signs that you are over-functioning, how resentment can reveal a missing boundary, and how to stay strong without carrying every room, every problem, and every person by yourself. Strength is valuable. But strong does not mean silent, unsupported, or endlessly available.Support the showThanks for listening & being part of the Mindset Cafe Community.----------------------------------------------Follow On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/devan.gonzalez/Let me know what topics or questions you want covered so we can help you achieve your goals faster.----------------------------------------------Are you taking the right supplements to maximize your mind and body in fitness & health.

You already know who you are. You just keep looking for proof you fit. The search is over — and The Impulsive Thinker® is done pretending you're the problem. In This Episode: Why ADHD isn't the problem — the world is The ugly difference between chaos and urgency for ADHD Entrepreneurs Ambition, self-care, and the brutal truth about people pleasing What You'll Take Away: The ADHD Entrepreneur brain runs on interest, not importance — that's not a flaw Chaos is not urgency; stop letting your business become a self-made fire drill People pleasing stacked with urgency is a recipe for burnout — and it's not ADHD The world's systems are the problem, not your brain or ambition You need to shelve goals, not your sanity ABOUT THIS EPISODE This episode is The Impulsive Thinker® stripped down. No guest, just a late-diagnosed neurodivergent Entrepreneur holding up the last 500 episodes and calling bullshit on the search for "normal." This one punches through ADHD, entrepreneurship, neurodivergent experience, and why chaos keeps stalking your calendar. You get the difference between actual business urgency and chaos addiction. The Impulsive Thinker® lays out why burnout keeps following ADHD Entrepreneurs — and why it's about broken systems, not broken brains. Stop measuring yourself on society's measuring stick. If you keep blaming ADHD for feeling scattered, here's your wakeup call. This one is for the ADHD Entrepreneur done pretending they fit and bored with one-size-fits-all advice. Hit play if you're ready to stop searching and actually build on what's already working in you. Email me about it at andre@theimpulsivethinker.com. Remember — ADHD failure is measured on society's measuring stick. Not yours. Your brain runs on interest, not importance. That's not a flaw. That's a different operating system. ADHD is not a deficit. It's a difference.
Glücklich sein ist eine Entscheidung – der Greta-Silver-Podcast von BRIGITTE.de
Du kannst erfolgreich sein. Du kannst Anerkennung bekommen, geliebt werden, Komplimente hören – und dich trotzdem tief in dir nicht gut genug fühlen. Dieses Gefühl hat oft erstaunlich wenig damit zu tun, was wir wirklich können. Es sitzt tiefer. Es flüstert uns ein: Die anderen sind besser. Ich hatte nur Glück. Irgendwann merken sie, dass ich gar nicht so gut bin. Ich muss noch mehr leisten, noch perfekter werden, noch nützlicher sein. Und genau darin liegt die Falle: Wer seinen eigenen Wert an Leistung bindet, kann niemals ankommen. Denn nach jedem Erfolg wartet schon die nächste Prüfung. In dieser Folge spreche ich darüber, woher die Angst, nicht gut genug zu sein, kommen kann, warum Lob häufig nur für fünf Minuten hilft und weshalb wir einen einzigen kritischen Satz manchmal ernster nehmen als hundert Komplimente. Wir schauen darauf, wie sich Selbstzweifel tarnen können: als Perfektionismus, Bescheidenheit, People-Pleasing, Überarbeitung, Aufschieben oder der Wunsch, es allen recht zu machen. Und vor allem geht es um die Frage: Wie kommen wir da heraus? Vielleicht bist Du noch nicht fertig. Vielleicht kannst Du manches noch nicht. Vielleicht machst Du Fehler. Aber all das ist etwas völlig anderes, als nicht gut genug zu sein. Dein Wert muss nicht verdient werden.
Most women are familiar with what people-pleasing looks like. You say yes when you mean no, avoid conflict, or never ask for what you need. But some of the most exhausting people-pleasing doesn't happen in those big, obvious moments. It happens in tiny ways that have become so automatic we don't notice them. In this episode, we're looking at these subtle habits through the lens of micro people-pleasing: the invisible, everyday behaviors driven by your nervous system that quietly steal your time, energy, and attention. Once you understand these small tendencies, you can begin interrupting them before they add up. Here's what I cover:The surprising math behind how much time we spend replaying conversations and trying to keep other people happyWhat micro people-pleasing looks like in everyday life and how it differs from more obvious people-pleasing behaviorsA self-assessment exercise to help you identify your own micro people-pleasing patternsWhy micro people-pleasing behaviors aren't conscious choices but responses designed to help you feel safeHow practicing "the pause" helps you interrupt both big and micro people-pleasing habitsReserve your seat for my next workshop: sarafisk.coach/voiceFind Sara here:sarafisk.coachpages.sarafisk.coach/difficultconversationsinstagram.com/sarafiskcoachfacebook.com/SaraFiskCoachingtiktok.com/@sarafiskcoachyoutube.com/@sarafiskcoaching1333

Brandy explores why simply trying to stop people-pleasing or forcing yourself to say "no" may not create the healing, connection, or freedom you're looking for—and how focusing only on the behavior can sometimes create even more tension and disconnection. In this powerful IQ episode, Brandy reveals what may actually be happening beneath the people-pleasing pattern and explains how true transformation comes from addressing the deeper emotional dynamics involved. Rather than creating cold or defensive boundaries, you'll discover how to honor yourself while remaining loving, thoughtful, and genuinely connected to others. In this episode, you'll discover: Why common advice about people-pleasing can sometimes backfire The important issue that may be overlooked when trying to change this pattern Why setting boundaries do not need to feel cold, harsh, or disconnected How to honor yourself while remaining loving and thoughtful How to create relationships with greater sweetness, reciprocity, and genuine connection When you shift this pattern at its core, you can learn to say no when needed, care for yourself in a healthy way, and create relationships that feel more loving, harmonious, and deeply fulfilling. The goal isn't to become less loving—it's to create a healthier way of loving both yourself and others. -- Important Note: This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not a replacement for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

There are moments when saying yes feels easier than pausing long enough to ask what you actually want. A summer barbecue, a casual invitation, a simple plan that somehow doesn't feel simple at all. And yet the answer comes out automatically—because disappointing someone can feel heavier than checking in with yourself. People-pleasing can look like kindness on the outside, but underneath it often feels like disconnection from your own voice. You might find yourself second-guessing your choices or feeling guilty even when nothing is wrong. In this episode, we explore what's happening in those moments, why guilt shows up when you start choosing yourself, and what it looks like to gently rebuild trust with your own inner voice again. If you've been wondering how to stop people-pleasing without losing yourself or hurting others, this conversation is for you. Cheers, Marie

What if the very thing you've been hiding is the key to unlocking everything you want? In this episode, Lacy and Jessica explore a gentler chapter of manifestation: one rooted in authenticity, self-trust, and coming home to who you truly are. They share updates from the Be Seen Challenge and unpack the subtle ways we hide: people-pleasing, over-explaining, perfectionism, and chasing external validation. True visibility isn't about being louder or more performative — it's about feeling safe enough to own your desires, trust your intuition, and let your authentic self become your strongest signal. Plus, they answer listener questions on confidence, manifestation tests, relationship shadows, finances, and embodying the liberating “f*ck it” energy that comes from truly trusting yourself.

The hosts share their own personal battles with relational perfectionism and outline how an over-attunement to others can cause a person to completely lose touch with their own identity. This conversation offers a deeply validating look at why we overcommit, how avoidance morphs into procrastination, and practical DBT-based tools to break the cycle. Tune in to Discover: The Root of People Pleasing: Why the automatic urge to say "yes" is actually a survival skill designed to avoid the discomfort of conflict, disapproval, or rejection.

If you're a tall girly, or honestly a tall person, tuning in to this right now, listen to the next few questions and feel free to answer them in the comments or via my DMs. At any point in time, have you ever found yourself slouching around shorter people? Have you ever volunteered to be in the back of photos or even bent down in photos with shorter folks? Has someone ever made a comment about you wearing heels, and you chose not to wear them because of it? If you answered yes to any of these questions, those are examples of minimizing yourself for the comfort of others. While these actions seem very small, which they are, they kind of reflect people-pleasing tendencies. In today's episode, we're going to discuss how many tall women are indirectly taught from a young age to minimize themselves, prioritize other people's comfort, and develop people-pleasing tendencies.

People-pleasing tendencies start much earlier in life than many of us realize, and there comes a point when children need to begin unlearning those behaviors so they don't carry them into adulthood. Inspired by a conversation I recently had with my 16-year-old son, I'm breaking down people-pleasing in a way that teens can understand and showing how the same tools I use with my coaching clients can help younger generations too. Learning to recognize these patterns and find your voice early is such a gift. Whether you're sharing this episode with a teen in your life or using these concepts to help guide and encourage them, I hope this episode gives you both more confidence to start speaking up. Here's what I cover:The conversation that inspired this episode and why so many teens struggle to speak upWhy people pleasing begins in childhood as a survival strategy before it starts holding us backThe difference between the discomfort of staying stuck and the discomfort that comes with growthWhy people pleasing can actually damage the relationships you're trying to protectThree steps to help your teen practice speaking up and build confidence one conversation at a timeReserve your seat for my next workshop: sarafisk.coach/voice Find Sara here:sarafisk.coachpages.sarafisk.coach/difficultconversationsinstagram.com/sarafiskcoachfacebook.com/SaraFiskCoachingtiktok.com/@sarafiskcoachyoutube.com/@sarafiskcoaching1333

Tenderoni Hotline #38: What if chronic pain, anxiety, burnout, and people pleasing all stem from the same underlying pattern?In this episode, I sit down with bestselling author, psychotherapist, and mind-body medicine expert Nicole Sachs to explore the hidden connection between trauma, the nervous system, and what I call emotional outsourcing. Emotional outsourcing is the habit of looking outside yourself for safety, belonging, and worth instead of cultivating those things within.Together, we unpack why so many of us learned to disconnect from ourselves in order to stay connected to others, how those survival strategies become wired into the nervous system, and why healing is about far more than managing symptoms.We also explore how people pleasing, perfectionism, and codependent patterns contribute to chronic stress, why boundaries can feel so threatening, and how small, intentional shifts can help you rebuild self-trust.Whether you're living with chronic symptoms, struggling to set boundaries, or simply longing to feel more at home in yourself, this conversation offers a compassionate and science-informed perspective on what healing can look like.If this episode resonated with you, be sure to follow the podcast and share it with someone who might need this conversation.Got a question for the Tenderoni Hotline?

LEARN HOW TO JOURNALSPEAK In this episode, I'm joined by Béa Albina, nurse practitioner, somatic practitioner, and the author and creator of Emotional Outsourcing, for a conversation that gets right to the heart of why so many of us abandon ourselves in the name of being good, helpful, agreeable, easy, impressive, or needed. Béa defines emotional outsourcing as the chronic habit of sourcing our safety, belonging, and worth from everyone and everything outside of ourselves, instead of from within, and we unpack how deeply this pattern can become wired into the nervous system. For so many of us, especially women raised inside cultural expectations to be pleasant, useful, low-maintenance, and not “too much,” people pleasing and codependency were not personality flaws. They were survival strategies. This conversation is such an important bridge between the emotional life and the body. We talk about the way chronic self-abandonment, resentment, perfectionism, hypervigilance, and the constant scanning of other people's moods can create a fertile environment for symptoms, anxiety, and nervous system dysregulation. Béa and I explore why awareness is the first doorway into healing, how somatic practices help us come back into relationship with ourselves, and why the smallest “newborn kitten steps” can be the beginning of profound change. We also talk about boundaries, self-compassion, the power of intentional language, and what it really means to stop outsourcing your sense of worth and begin building safety inside your own body. In this episode, we discuss emotional outsourcing as a new way to understand codependency, perfectionism, and people pleasing; why women are so often conditioned to disconnect from their needs in order to stay loved and accepted; how the nervous system learns to prioritize everyone else's comfort over internal stability; the connection between self-silencing, resentment, chronic symptoms, and emotional repression; why somatic awareness and JournalSpeak are so aligned; how to begin asking the body what it needs; why boundaries are not about controlling other people but about deciding how we will take care of ourselves; and how self-compassion becomes the foundation for real healing instead of just another thing we try to perform perfectly. Béa's work is compassionate, practical, funny, deeply intelligent, and beautifully aligned with the core message of this podcast: you are not broken, your body is not betraying you, and the patterns that once protected you can be understood, softened, and changed. This is a conversation about coming home to yourself, not in a cheesy way, but in the most biologically necessary way. Because when we stop living as if everyone else gets to decide whether we are safe, lovable, and worthy, the nervous system finally has a chance to exhale. Where to find Béa: Listen to her podcast, Feminist Wellness, read her book, End Emotional Outsourcing: How to Overcome Your Codependent, Perfectionist and People-Pleasing Habits, and find her on social media under her full name, Beatriz Victoria Albina NP. Lisa and I will be teaching at Miraval Austin from September 25–27 for a relaxing, immersive retreat experience rooted in this work.
