About this listen

How often have you said "yes" to something, when you really wanted to say "no", just to keep the peace at the expense of your own? In this episode, I discuss what people pleasing really is, where it comes from and the hidden cost of constantly prioritising others over ourselves.

I also unpack how it can show up through the lens of Human Design, from Generators overcommitting their energy to Projectors pushing through exhaustion - and how tuning back into your body’s cues can change everything.

You’ll learn why awareness is your greatest tool for transformation, how to start saying “no” without guilt and practical ways to build self-trust and emotional resilience.

Quite often we forget to show kindness to ourselves when we're in the throes of people-pleasing, we're so caught up in being 'kind' to others, that we fail to realise we also matter.

A beautiful quote and personal favourite from Lao Tzu:

"Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner."

This episode has been recorded for anyone who recognises the pattern of people-pleasing in themself and is ready to break the cycle!
