378: Stop Hustling for Worth, Heal People-Pleasing, + Feel Enough | Maggie Nick
Be Well by Kelly LevequeShow Notes
What if the version of you that’s always “good,” agreeable, and holding it all together… isn’t actually you? In this episode, I sit down with Maggie Nick, founder of Camp Lovable, to unpack the deep conditioning so many women carry around being liked, chosen, and “enough.” We talk about people-pleasing, nervous system safety, and why hustling for your worth keeps you stuck. Maggie breaks down the psychology in a way that actually lands, helping you feel seen, safe, and human. If you’re ready to drop the act and trust yourself again, this one’s for you.
