243 “I don’t know who I am any more”: People pleasing, mental load and reclaiming boundaries

from Busy Woman's Guide to Wellbeing

Join me for The Consistency Codes - a 30 minute masterclass for women who know WHAT they “should” be doing, but still can’t seem to make it stick. Monday 13th April - 7.30pm - 100% FREESECURE YOUR SPACE HEREAt some point, many of us arrive at a moment where we realise we’ve lost our identity among the stress load, the mental load and the pressures of life and motherhood.And between all the things we do for other people, and routinely putting our needs bottom of the list we suddenly realise that we need to rekindle our purpose, our joy and our passion again.In this episode, I’m exploring why so many of us lose ourselves along the way - to nervous system burnout, people pleasing and always putting everyone else’s needs first. And more importantly, I’m sharing practical ways to begin reconnecting with yourself again and finding your purpose and passion.Here’s what we’ll talk about:The societal norms that lead to so many women losing their sense of identity.Cultural expectations around people-pleasing, emotional labour and self-sacrifice.Reclaiming boundaries to create the space needed to reconnect with yourself.Rediscovering joy through small acts of pleasure, curiosity and self-reflection.Reconnecting with your own identity and desires to show up more fully - not only for yourself, but for everyone around you.NEXT STEPS:Share this episode with a friendListen to next: Episode 151 - Healthy Boundaries and How to Create Them Work with me: www.lifeeditcoaching.comFollow me on Instagram: @lifeeditwithalix
