Is people pleasing getting in the way of your summer vacation?

I've never had more people mad at me, and I couldn't be more proud of myself.

I'm a life-long people pleaser in recovery.

In the past, I've:

• Said YES to working late on my birthday.
• Said YES to baby showers I didn't want to attend on my only day off.
• Said YES to doing a lot of sh*t I didn't want to do, but thought I *should* do.

So while I showed up as a "good soldier" for each of these things, I was internally secretly suppressing anger, frustration, and resentment.

But maybe it wasn't so secret when I was carrying high expectations of others or attending the event with a lot of sarcasm and negativity. ????♀?

Once upon a time, I had NO boundaries and it got the best of me.

Now, after doing this inner work, I don't say YES as much. In fact, I usually default to NO unless it's a YES.

And I'm ruffling feathers in the process.

Here's the thing you need to know when you start setting boundaries: You're GOING TO piss people off, and

It's likely going to make you feel guilty and uncomfortable. (At least temporarily.)

But the boundaries you set aren't for them. They're for you.

Clients come to me wanting a better way to live their life, and my coaching program helps with just that.

After years of saying YES to inconsiderate bosses, and saying NO to themselves, clients work through the discomfort of saying NO and learn how to find peace in the decision of putting themselves first.

When do you know you're ready for a coach? When everyone in your world is happy... except you.

P.S. Ciao from Italia! I've had the most dreamy experience of swimming in watering holes, bike riding through the Tuscan vineyards and getting in a whole lot of yoga. Vacation goals? Yes, because I've learned how to disconnect while OOO. You can too. :)

P.P.S. While I'm OOO, I am not taking consults; however, the "Work With Lauren " form is available if you want to cut the line and hit the ground running once I'm back.
