An Apology to Fearne Cotton: People Pleasing, Panic Attacks and Knowing When to Pause

I owe Fearne Cotton an apology.Years ago, I judged her after seeing one tiny moment from the outside. But after hearing her speak so honestly about people pleasing, panic attacks, public scrutiny, losing jobs and the pressure of being liked, I saw her completely differently.In this solo episode, I talk about what Fearne’s words brought up for me, why people pleasing is often a nervous system response, and why so many women reach a point in midlife where they realise they can’t keep saying yes at the expense of themselves.I also share why I’m pausing Cancer Cured Me after 75 episodes, what I’ve learned from creating this first long season, and how I’m putting more energy into The Wellness Collection, my non-profit CIC providing funded retreats and support for people recovering after cancer.A very honest episode about judgement, burnout, boundaries, rest, purpose and knowing when to pause.Please keep messaging while we're on our break - I always love hearing from you and will get back to everyone personally.Big love, La xIf you like what you hear... buymeacoffee.com/alexsimmsInsta:@cancercuredmeRetreats: @lalalovesretreatswww.lalaloves.comCLICK HERE TO JOIN MY COTSWOLDS RETREAT CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE HAPPY MONDAY TO RECEIVE EXCLUSIVE DISCOUNTS & NEWS Hosted on Acast.
