"It's Not Your Job to Like Me, It's Mine." Byron Katie The need to people please is our discussion for this week's Cool Topics Series. Are you a people pleaser? Most of us will answer yes. We say yes before thinking about our own needs.  We put everyone else above us on our list of priorities.  We often seek acceptance in people we shouldn't and we worry about hurting the feeling of others who do not reciprocate that. We are looking for acceptance, love and safety.  Yet, all those things we can find within ourselves.  We don't need to seek outside approval. We should also be able to set healthy boundaries without guilt.  Your time and energy are invaluable, especially in midlife and beyond. Don't you agree?

Ever wonder how you'll ever stop people-pleasing and say yes to yourself instead? This episode is for you! Set small boundaries first. Start with low-stakes situations to practice saying no or expressing your preferences. For example, choosing the restaurant when asked, or declining a small favor when you're genuinely busy. These smaller moments build your confidence for bigger boundary-setting situations.Pause before automatically agreeing. When someone asks something of you, try responding with "Let me check my schedule and get back to you" or "I need to think about that." This brief delay gives you space to consider what you actually want to do rather than reflexively saying yes to avoid disappointing someone.Remember that disappointment isn't dangerous. People-pleasers often fear others' negative reactions, but someone being temporarily disappointed or mildly upset doesn't mean you've done something wrong or that the relationship is in jeopardy. Most healthy relationships can handle occasional "no" responses, and those that can't may need reevaluation.Notice your internal warning signs. Pay attention to feelings of resentment, exhaustion, or anxiety that often accompany over-committing. These emotions are signals that you're stretching yourself too thin to accommodate others. When you catch these feelings early, you can course-correct before burning out.Practice stating your needs directly. Instead of hinting or hoping others will guess what you want, try expressing yourself clearly. Say "I'd prefer to meet at 2 PM" rather than "Whatever time works for you is fine." Direct communication often leads to better outcomes and reduces the mental energy spent on trying to read between the lines.The key is building these skills gradually. People-pleasing patterns developed over time, so changing them takes patience and consistent practice. Some resources for you:Want to see how you score as a confident communicator? Take The Confidence Cocktail Assessment: https://karenlaos.com/confidence-cocktail-fb/Project more confidence and credibility with my free tips: 9 Words to Avoid & What to Say Instead: https://karenlaos.lpages.co/words-to-avoid/My book “Trust Your Own Voice”: https://karenlaos.com/book/Episodes also available on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEwQoTGdJX5eME0ccBKiKng/videos Karen Laos, Communication Expert and Confidence Cultivator, leverages 25 years in the boardroom and speaking on the world's most coveted stages such as Google and NASA to transform missed opportunities into wins.

Melody Wilding is an executive coach, human behavior expert, and author of Trust Yourself and Managing Up. In this episode we unpack how high-achievers often sabotage their careers through people-pleasing and emotional suppression. Melody shares why sensitive strivers (a term she coined for deeply feeling, high-performing individuals) often struggle to advocate for themselves in professional environments — and how this disconnect leads to burnout, resentment, and career stagnation. We explore the difference between being collaborative and being a doormat, and how to set boundaries that actually earn respect rather than risk relationships. Learn more at melodywilding.com

This one's personal. If you've ever lost yourself in someone else's drama, stayed too long out of guilt, or bent your boundaries to feel loved—this episode is for you. We're talking about outgrowing neediness, reclaiming your strength, and learning how to build a life that doesn't revolve around anyone else's validation. Spoiler: this season is about you. Not being liked. Not being owned. You're not a puppet. You're not a peacekeeper. You're a baddie—and baddie wins only. Plus: 5 tools to get out of that loop and back into your power.

How many of us at one time believed that being the “good girl” was the key to success?—say yes, be easy, stay agreeable. But behind the high-achieving exterior…You were constantly second-guessing yourself, shape-shifting to meet everyone else's expectations, and wondering why you felt so drained?

This episode includes a dog, a cat who runs up a tree and gets stuck, an electrical cord, and a leadership lesson. There's a backyard rescue mission, a personal realization and a few more interesting plot twists.   But the real story? It's not about the cat. It's about what happens inside a people-pleaser's mind when something goes wrong, and the urge to fix, help, and over-function takes over. Jenny explores the discomfort of stepping back, resisting the urge to over-help, and learning to trust that other people are capable—even when it's hard to watch.   Listener Reflection: Have you ever helped without being asked?

This week, we're talking boundaries—the invisible lines that protect our time, energy, and sanity (when we actually enforce them). Stef and Sarah unpack what boundaries really are (hint: not just saying “no”), how they show up in our bodies, our relationships, and our work—and why so many of us struggle to hold them. From family dynamics to friend drama, people-pleasing traps to food boundaries, they share real stories of what it takes to define and defend your limits without guilt. They also get into the psychology behind rigid vs. porous boundaries, how social conditioning makes it harder for some of us to draw the line, and why clear communication isn't just helpful—it's essential. If you've ever felt like setting a boundary makes you mean—or like you're constantly betraying yourself just to avoid conflict—this conversation is for you. Tune in for a candid, compassionate look at how to honor your needs and why boundaries aren't just protective… they're a form of kindness. 01:09 Defining Boundaries 02:20 Types of Boundaries 04:09 Personal Experiences with Boundaries 08:09 Boundaries in Relationships 10:32 Communicating Boundaries Effectively 11:41 Challenges in Setting Boundaries 13:11 Owning Your Boundaries 21:23 The Importance of Clear Communication 22:56 Setting Boundaries with Family 24:35 Navigating Boundaries in Friendships 26:41 Balancing Personal and Professional Boundaries 28:56 Understanding Boundaries in Therapy 34:57 Boundaries and Food Relationships 40:55 Concluding Thoughts on Boundaries Join our support community.

Are you ready to break free from the people-pleasing trap ... Read more

In this episode, we explore how emotional avoidance and self-abandonment often disguise themselves as being “helpful,” “productive,” or “strong.” Whether it's saying yes too quickly, fixing others' emotions, or numbing out with distractions, these patterns are not bad habits - they're survival strategies we picked up when it wasn't safe to feel or express ourselves. We look at where these behaviors come from, why they served a purpose, and what they're costing us now. We discuss gentle, practical ways to begin recognizing and shifting these patterns. You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of why it's hard to stay with yourself emotionally and how beginning to do so—even for a few seconds at a time—is a powerful act of healing.     We don't always notice when we're abandoning ourselves – it can look like overdoing, over giving, or overcommitting.   Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

Have you ever felt like you're not enough for what God is calling you to do? The task is too big, your strength is small, you just don't have what it takes. In this episode, we unpack three powerful ways to strengthen your faith when you feel inadequate—and we anchor it all in this unshakable truth:

You fed up yet?  Good. That means the fire's here.  In this solo episode, I take you deep into a recent moment where I finally said enough - and buried the version of me who kept mothering everyone but herself.  I walk you through the raw energy behind my new free live event, Fed Up to On Fire, and I soft launch the mantra that's reshaping my movement:  Thank You. Fuck You. I'm Free.  You'll learn how to alchemize frustration into fuel, how to ride the wave of your own rage without drowning in it, and why being fed up isn't a breakdown - it's the beginning of your rise.  If you've been swallowing your truth, people-pleasing your way into exhaustion, and waiting for permission to be selfish, this is your invitation.  Let it burn.  CLICK HERE to join Fed Up to On Fire. June 19th. 

“I don't care what people think.” It sounds bold, even freeing—but is it true? In Part 2 of The Lies We Love, Discipleship Pastor Ryan Akers exposes this common phrase for what it really is: a mask for our deep desire to be liked, accepted, and approved. This message dives into how people-pleasing can trap us, distort our purpose, and become a subtle form of idolatry. Discover the freedom that comes not from chasing the approval of others, but in living from the approval of God that we already have.

#175: The constant urge to say "yes" when you want to scream "no" might be more harmful than you realize. In this raw, transformative conversation about people-pleasing, we uncover how this seemingly innocent trait actually represents a profound disconnection from your authentic self.When 69% of adults regularly put others' needs before their own even when it hurts them, we're not talking about kindness—we're talking about a pattern of self-abandonment that deserves our attention. Meenu shares her personal journey from chronic people-pleaser to boundary-setting advocate, revealing the painful reality that "people-pleasing cost me my whole life" and how she finally broke free at age 30.We explore why women are twice as likely as men to struggle with saying no, how cultural expectations shape our tendency to people-please, and the surprising truth that your people-pleasing might actually be a form of manipulation. Rather than making connections stronger, this pattern often leads to resentment and disconnection from your true self.The most powerful revelation? The temporary discomfort of setting boundaries is nothing compared to the freedom waiting on the other side. Through practical techniques like the "20-second pause" before responding and gradual boundary-setting approaches, you'll discover how to honor your needs without sacrificing relationships. Whether your people-pleasing stems from childhood experiences, fear of abandonment, or simply habit, this episode provides compassionate guidance for reclaiming your authentic voice.Listen now to start the journey from self-abandonment to self-respect. Your future self—the one who can say "no" without guilt and "yes" with genuine enthusiasm—is waiting.You can now send us a text to ask a question or review the show. We would love to hear from you!

“People pleasing isn't love. It's fear dressed up as kindness.” Have you ever gone along to get along? Said yes when you really wanted to say no? Diminished your desires, your boundaries, or even your calling—just to avoid conflict or gain approval? If so, you're not alone. In this heartfelt and eye-opening Coaches Takeover episode, Coaches Diana and Susan unpack one of the most common struggles among women: people pleasing. With honesty, biblical insight, and hard-earned wisdom, they dive into the roots of this behavior, share real stories of personal growth, and offer gentle but practical steps to help you stop abandoning yourself—and start showing up with truth, courage, and strength. Whether you've been stuck in patterns of self-sacrifice, afraid to speak up, or just feeling exhausted from trying to keep everyone happy, this conversation will meet you with grace and give you tools to walk in freedom. People Pleasing Is a Form of Self-Abandonment At its core, people pleasing happens when we silence our own needs, wants, or convictions in favor of someone else's. Whether out of fear of rejection, a desire to keep the peace, or a longing for approval, this behavior often stems from insecurity and a loss of self. Susan shares how people pleasing is about needing something from others (like validation or acceptance) and sacrificing yourself to get it—often without even realizing it. You Can't Heal What You Don't Notice One of the most powerful things you can do is pause and pay attention. Diana and Susan remind us that many women have been conditioned (in families, churches, or culture) to believe that “being nice” means suppressing their true selves. But without self-awareness, people pleasing becomes an automatic pattern that robs us of authenticity and connection. Naming it is the first step to breaking free. Personal Stories Reveal the Cost of People Pleasing Diana vulnerably shares moments in her life where fear of disappointing others led to missed opportunities—including a professional invitation she turned down simply because she didn't ask for what she needed. Susan reflects on how being trained as a therapist to be a “blank slate” magnified her already strong pattern of disappearing for others. Their stories highlight how people pleasing may seem noble—but often leads to regret and invisibility. Reclaiming Your Voice Takes Practice—and Courage Breaking free from people pleasing means learning to notice your own preferences, to ask for what you need, and to tolerate the discomfort of not pleasing everyone. This isn't selfish—it's sacred. As Susan and Diana point out, many women have never developed a strong sense of self, or it's been erased by years of criticism or control. Rebuilding it is part of healing, and it takes time, support, and practice. Your Purpose Matters—Don't Let Fear Steal It People pleasing often leads to lost opportunities, diminished confidence, and emotional exhaustion. But God created you with purpose and worth—and you don't have to keep hiding or hustling to prove yourself. With the right tools and support, you can step into truth, draw healthy boundaries, and become the strong, faithful woman God called you to be.
