193-Recover from People Pleasing with Dr. Sasha Heinz

On today's episode, we talk about people pleasing “...but my priority is my family right now. I don’t have the time to do this work right now or to participate.” We did a survey few months ago and asked our community members what is holding them back from doing the “work” meaning healing their relationship to food & body. People pleasing came in the top 3... specifically #2 . These are the women who knew they had people pleasing behaviors. The funny thing is that the #1 reason holding back women from healing their relationship to food and body was: “I need to lose weight. I can’t bear being in this body right now. Got to fix that first before doing mindset work”.  I say funny because that #1 reason is: people pleasing “in hiding”. So people pleasing is a huge theme in our community! That’s what we are going to deep dive on this episode. Our guest today is Sasha Heinz, PhD and a developmental psychologist. She is an expert in positive psychology, lasting behavioral change, and the science of getting unstuck. She’s a working mom, she’s lived life on the front line of the battle with perfectionism. So, she is going to help us with that. What you’ll learn listening to this episode: What is the disease of people pleasing? How does it manifest in our life? Why does it affect women more than men? How to learn to say no? How to let go of the opinion of others? Mentioned on the show: FREE Intuitive Eating Guide Intuitive Eating Project Connect with our guest Website Instagram Goop Article
