I'm spilling the tea this week

This feels like a vulnerable share, but here it is... I’m a recovering people pleaser.

For as long as I can remember, whenever I heard the term "people pleaser", I never thought that described me.

But it wasn't until recently that it hit me: I have a tendency to people please.

This happened when:

• I realized how guilty I felt bailing on a networking event because I was experiencing cramps.
• I found myself constantly saying “sorry” as a default for being "in the way" on the subway or as a way to ask for permission to speak. (i.e., "Sorry, but would you mind...")
• I tried quitting a job 3 times because my team kept asking me to stay.

And what I hear is that you have people-pleasing tendencies too.

?

And while people pleasing doesn't make us bad people, it puts us at a higher risk of burning out.

To break the cycle, I learned:

• How to accept the temporary feelings of discomfort and guilt, in order to be in service of my needs.
• How to command presence without asking for permission.
• How to make sound decisions without over-ruminating on how others will receive the news.

I'll teach all of this to you when you join my coaching program, Freedom.

6 months of breaking people-pleasing habits.

6 months of practicing healthy boundaries.

6 months of leading through discomfort.

You could do this on your own, but I guarantee it'll take way longer and feel pretty miserable figuring it out on your own.

I know this because that was me for years. I didn't have the right support system and I made v e r y s l o w progress.

Clients that work with me want a time-tested methodology, accountability and a lot of fun throughout the process.

I've got you.

A less-stressed life awaits you when you stop people-pleasing.

Don't delay any more. Your time is too precious. Book NOW.

Happy Monday,
