EP. 27 - Four Ways You're Performing Your Life - Part Two: Pleasing

from Grounded Wildness · host Heather Whelpley

Today is the second in our four-part series on the ways we perform in our lives - and we're digging straight into people-pleasing. It's SO common. People-pleasing rules make you feel like you can't disappoint anyone, have to say yes to everything, and must take care of everything and keep everyone happy. They make you worry about what other people will think and can hold you back from following your own path and living your true, not to mention putting yourself anywhere on the list of people you take care of! In today's episode, we'll cover:How Heather realized she had some people-pleasing tendencies - and what she's doing to unravel those rulesWhy disconnecting from pleasing is different that proving and perfecting - and why it's okay if it's harder for you to let people-pleasing goHow pleasing rules sometimes stop you from doing what you desire -- and how sometimes you do the thing anyway and THEN the rules show up causing stress and worryAll the ways we please so that you can recognize your own patterns - and start to break free from them!Links:Pre-order Grounded Wildness - coming soon!Learn more about hiring Heather as a speakerGet An Overachievers Guide To Breaking The Rules on Heather's website or Amazon
