If you’ve ever called yourself a “recovering people pleaser,” this episode is going to hit.People-pleasing doesn’t just show up in friendships or family dynamics. It shows up in who you date.It looks like: Over-functioning. Over-giving. Seeing potential and trying to help him become it. Shrinking your preferences to keep the peace. Calling it loyalty when it’s actually self-abandonment.In this conversation, Catherine Crestani shares how she lost herself in marriage, in business, and in the identity of being the fixer — the one who holds everything together.And here’s the deeper truth:The way you tolerate misalignment in your work is often the same way you tolerate it in love.We talk about: The fixer identity and how it forms Losing yourself in relationships without realizing it Shedding identities that no longer fit Saying no — even when there’s pushback Why emotionally willing men are drawn to women who have already chosen themselvesEmotionally unavailable men aren’t random.They’re aligned with the version of you that is still managing everyone.When you move from people-pleasing to self-leadership, your relationships change — because you change.This isn’t about fixing him.It’s about choosing yourself.Connect with Catherine Crestani:Website: https://willowhealing.org/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/willowhealingshPodcast - Willow Healing Matters: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/willow-healing-matters-podcast/id1760975061Substack: https://willowhealing.substack.com/podcastConnect with Darla Ridilla: 🌐 Learn more about podcast mentoring and my 30-day podcast launch program: https://www.highvaluewoman.info/shareyourvoiceFree Course - You Have Something to Say: The 3 Shifts That Help You Stop Overthinking and Start Your Podcast - https://youtu.be/IcXzJDGDUtkWebsite: https://www.highvaluewoman.infoSign up for mailing list: https://www.highvaluewoman.info/connectFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550835718631Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/highvaluewoman7/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HighValueWoman-m7wLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/darla-ridilla-3179b110/Send me an email: [email protected]
