People Pleasing Is Quietly Ruining Your Relationships with Jenny Helms

In this episode, I sit down with Jenny Helms LCFMT, owner of Soma Therapy in Wichita, Kansas and a licensed clinical marriage and family counselor, for an honest and eye opening conversation about narcissism, boundaries, and healing. Jenny breaks down what narcissism really looks like, why people pleasing and defensiveness show up in relationships, and how difficulty saying no can quietly destroy self worth and connection. We talk about how highly intelligent people can still struggle deeply in romantic relationships, how trauma shapes behavior, and what it actually takes to reconnect with your true authentic self. Jenny also opens up about her personal journey overcoming an eating disorder, building Soma Therapy, and shares insights from her book Beneath Your Bullshit: A Guide for Rediscovering Your Awesomeness. This episode is grounded, practical, and packed with clarity for anyone trying to understand themselves and their relationships better.
