Show Notes
In today's episode, we explore the trap of people pleasing, particularly among women, and how it quietly impacts authenticity, relationships, and overall wellbeing.
We share personal experiences and unpack how people pleasing is often rooted in upbringing, confidence, and societal conditioning, while also highlighting the subtle ways it shows up in everyday life, from how we speak about our bodies and fitness to how we respond to social and work demands.
The conversation moves into practical strategies for change, including learning to recognise and name emotions, setting and communicating clear boundaries, protecting time for yourself, and allowing others to support you instead of always defaulting to independence.
We also explore the guilt that can come with prioritising yourself, especially within family and work roles, and how cultural influences reinforce these patterns.
Throughout, we emphasise the importance of self-awareness, supportive environments, and ongoing personal growth as key tools for living more aligned and authentically.
