We’re kicking off Season 2 with a deep dive into a topic many of us can relate to but rarely discuss: fawning. You’ve heard of fight, flight, and freeze, but what about fawning? This often-overlooked trauma response is all about people-pleasing as a means of self-preservation. But where does it come from, and how can it impact our relationships, mental health, and sense of self?

In this episode, we uncover: ✨ What fawning is and how it shows up in our daily lives ✨ The connection between fawning and trauma ✨ Why being “too nice” might be harming you more than helping you ✨ Practical steps to break free from people-pleasing patterns

With wit, compassion, and a few hard truths, we’re shedding light on this survival strategy and giving you the tools to reclaim your voice and boundaries.

If you’ve ever felt like you say “yes” to everything (even when you want to scream “no”), this episode is for you.

🎙️ Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe to stay tuned for the rest of Season 2!

Let’s talk about healing, boundaries, and finding your true self—starting now.

I Must Be BUG'N Sheldon Gay Does the world seem like it's dragging along at a different pace? Do you constantly feel like you're the only one who notices "the emperor has no clothes"? Were you constantly teased or shamed for not conforming to what's "normal"? Do you wish you had accommodations for your needs that others readily received?If that sounds all too familiar, you might be BUGN (Black Underrepresented/Unidentified Gifted and otherwise Neurodivergent).This is a podcast primarily for Black gifted and otherwise neurodivergent people to learn about and discuss our unique experiences. I'm also here to create a safe and empowering space for all neurodivergent people, especially those who may not officially be identified and those from underrepresented communities. My goal is to move neurodivergence from deficiency to difference and to create a space where labels don't have to feel like pathology. Hosted on Acast.
