A journey of a thousand miles: My people pleasing and perfectionist story [EP 1]

TW: I talk about Anorexia Nervosa and Binge Eating DisorderWelcome to the very first episode of Unapologetic AF baby! I’m your host Rakhi Sachdev, and I am SO excited to bring this podcast fully alive!In this episode, I get down, dirty and vulnerable into my story with 2 eating disorders, where I believe my people pleasing and perfectionist journey started, and how my life experiences have bought me to this place of being an Empowerment and Embodiment coach for women of colour. You’ll hear about how using food as a coping mechanism was actually a symptom of striving to be ‘the best’ for everyone around me and fulfil everyone’s expectations so that I could feel accepted and love. It’s been quite the journey man, so many ups and downs, but life does exist on the other side of these behaviours, and I’m so excited to show you how.Key takeaways from this episode:Striving to be superhuman, fulfilling everyone’s expectations and not putting one foot wrong, not only exhausts you but strips you of who you are at your core - a human being who makes mistakes and is trying their best.You do get to show that you have wants and needs and still be loved and accepted for that.Connecting with the little girl inside you, getting comfortable in your skin and injecting more play and pleasure into your life, is key to thriving beyond people pleasing and perfectionism. Connect with Rakhi:Connect with me on IG, I’d love to to get to know you: @rakhisachdev_ Email me: [email protected]
