  • (54) Dare to Be You: Embrace Your Authenticity and Leave People-Pleasing Behind
    Oct 17 2025

    How many times have you said yes when your head and heart were screaming no?

    You’re not alone. So many women are caught in the cycle of people-pleasing — saying yes to keep the peace, apologizing for things that aren’t their fault, and shaping their lives around other people’s expectations.

    But here’s the truth: you can’t step into your purpose if you’re constantly shrinking to fit everyone else’s comfort zone.

    In this episode of I Need Directions to My Purpose, Ava shares:
    - 5 signs you’re stuck in people-pleasing (and how to recognize the hidden patterns).
    - The difference between being kind and people-pleasing.
    - 5 practical ways to set boundaries, reclaim your confidence, and live authentically.
    - The “3N Method” to move towards empowerment.

    Saying no doesn’t make you unkind —it makes you purpose driven.
    Because the moment you stop seeking approval, you start living in alignment to your goals and passions.

    It’s time to stop performing and start becoming.
    Dare to be you — unapologetically, authentically, and purposefully.

    🎧 Tune in now and start your journey from pleasing to purposeful.
