About this listen

If you find yourself saying yes when you want to say no, consistently do things for others at the expense of your own needs, or find yourself masking who you really are because you feel you're 'too much' or 'not enough', this podcast is for you.

I'm Charlotte, a former anxious people-pleaser, experienced psychotherapist, speaker and visibility mentor for female business owners who think deeply, care deeply and want to feel safe to be seen.


We'll explore all things people-pleasing; why you suppress your own needs and wants and true self for the sake of other people's, what the signs are, and the impact it can have on all aspects of your life.


I'll share personal and professional insights and you'll discover tips and strategies to help you break free from people-pleasing so you can move forward with confidence and finally say 'no' without guilt and anxiety as you embrace your authentic self, unapologetically.

I’m passionate about normalising therapy and making it more relatable, so expect down-to-earth, no-nonsense conversations—with the occasional bit of humour thrown in (fingers crossed!). My aim is to help you feel empowered to discover who you truly are, and experience the freedom that comes with letting go of the need to constantly please.

  • Why You Cringe at Putting Yourself Out There | Ep 33
    May 13 2025

    You’ve learnt the marketing strategies. You know what to do.

    Rationally you know you'd be encouraging your friend to go for it - that she should shout about her achievements, that she deserves to.

    So why are you still cringing when it’s time to show up?

    Why do you feel so uncomfortable about putting yourself out there?

    In this episode, I’m talking about the real reason visibility feels so hard — especially for women in business with people-pleasing patterns, masking habits, difficult past experiences or self-doubt

    I cover why visibility isn’t just a strategy problem, but a safety problem…
    …and why until you feel safe to be seen, no tactic will truly stick.

    If you’re tired of hiding — but terrified to be visible — this one’s for you.

  • How Personal Style and Mindset Can Transform Your Business Confidence | Ep 31
    Apr 29 2025

    In today’s episode, I’m joined by a very special guest — mindset and personal stylist and founder of The Success Stylist Co, Emma — for a real and relatable conversation about confidence, self-expression, and breaking free from old patterns.

    So many women describe confidence as feeling out of reach, like something you're either born with or not. But as you'll hear today, confidence is something that can be learned - even if you grew up with limiting beliefs, people-pleasing patterns, and the pressure to fit a mould.

    Emma shares her own journey from self-doubt to self-trust. We explore the ways childhood conditioning can linger into adulthood, how fear of judgment can cause you to shrink, the reason it's so important to notice and address your mindset when it comes to promoting and being visible for your business and how reconnecting with your personal style can be a powerful tool for healing and self-confidence.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck in self-doubt, struggled to express your true self, or longed to feel more confident showing up in your business (and your life), this conversation is for you.
