Episode Description

This is the final free workshop offered by me for the foreseeable future—and it’s a potent one.

In this session, we dive into the often-overlooked survival strategy of fawning at work—where you overextend yourself, blur boundaries, and people-please in the name of job security, approval, or stability.

You’ll learn:

What workplace fawning looks like (and why it’s not your fault)

How it’s connected to your nervous system, safety, and family dynamics

Grounding practices to reconnect with your body and your “no”

How to recognize urges and somatic cues before burnout hits

Practical tools to start setting boundaries without sabotaging your livelihood

This episode includes real participant shares, somatic exercises, and honest conversation about the cost of chronic overgiving at work—and how to begin to build a new pattern from the inside out.

If you want to go deeper, I also share details about SHED, my 6-month live somatic program for people who intellectually understand the fawn response but don’t know how to stop doing it.
