#56 – The People Pleasing Episode (This One's for the Medicine)

My mom will tell you I was an easy, sunny, sweet baby.What she really means: I never expressed any needs that were inconvenient, embarrassing, or made demands on others.And if I'm honest, it took me into my 40s to really start taking my own needs seriously. (Better late than never!)Being direct, setting boundaries, and telling people what I need are still wicked uncomfortable sometimes.But you know what else is uncomfortable? Constant people pleasing. Making it easy for everyone else. Participating in my own disempowerment.It's all still a work in progress. And every once in a while, the universe likes to throw me an opportunity to deepen my mastery in this area.Like my recent vacation!In this week's episode, I'll share:A vacation update (because I know you guys sometimes like hearing what's happening behind the scenes!)People pleasing tips from two of my favorite podcastsSome common myths about people pleasing that trip people up on their personal development journeysA simple, two-part test to help you decide if your urge to please comes from love — or crappy programmingSome of the ways coaching has helped me grow from a people pleaser to a more empowered woman — and some of the areas I'm still working onResources Mentioned:Mastering Coaching SkillsBreakthrough With BrigThis One's for the MedicineSarah's IGSarah's Coaching PageSarah's Free Breathwork MeetupCoach With SarahSarah offers a 6-month nervous system coaching program for humans who are neurodivergent, sensitive, and highly creative.
