136 – Are You Too Nice? 3 Signs Your Kindness Is Actually People Pleasing

Have you ever been told that you’re nice to a fault?  Maybe you’ve wondered whether you should have some limits around your “niceness".   Here's the thing - kindness and people-pleasing might seem similar, but they’re actually quite different.    Kindness is a personal value that we live out.  But people-pleasing is actually a stress response rooted in fear.  You might be surprised to learn (because it’s often unconscious), you people please more than you realize.   In today’s episode, I teach you 3 ways to tell if you’re actually being kind, or if you’re operating in a people-pleasing pattern.    This is such valuable awareness because once you know how to spot the difference, you can decide how you want to show up.  So you can be kind, and also hold healthy boundaries, act in alignment with your values, and express yourself authentically!   TAKE THE PERSONALITY PATTERN QUIZ!   BOOK A FREE 30-MINUTE DISCOVERY CALL WITH MICHELLE   FB COMMUNITY: The Calm Mom Collective   JOIN ME ON INSTAGRAM: @michellegrosser.coach   “I love The Calm Mom Podcast!” ← if that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing our show!  This helps us support more women, just like you, on their motherhood journey.  Click here--🧠 What's your capacity pattern? Take the free 2-minute quiz and unlock The Capacity Code — a personalized private podcast episode for your specific nervous system. → Take the Capacity Pattern Quiz
