Permission To Be You

from You Need a Coach B*tch · host Chris Hale

As a recovering people-pleaser one of the most important things I have done for myself is to give myself permission to live the life want instead of the one everyone else wanted. In this episode I talk about: • the “permission” question and how it unlocks change • how people pleasing forms for queer and marginalized folks • perfectionism as a strategy for approval and safety • growing up with an identity built around one praised talent • why we cannot control others’ happiness or opinions • boundaries as the antidote to being endlessly “likable” • practicing wants in small ways to rebuild self-trust • saying no and learning to tolerate guilt • permission to feel negative emotions without panic • permission to be bad at something and stay a beginner • permission to take up space instead of shrinking And if you're ready to be the permission you were always looking for, but don't know where to start, book a consultation call with me. We'll explore where you're stuck and how you can move forward on your journey to freedom from people pleasing.  Where to find me:  Connect with me on Instagram Check out my website  Sign up for a free consult
