The Recovering People Pleaser | Ep. 79

In this empowering episode of Kultivation w/ Kevie: A Self-Empowerment Podcast | Cultivating Courage, Confidence, Consistency & Creativity, I open up about a deeply personal and universal struggle—people pleasing. We unpack how many of us wear the “silent mask” of seeking approval to feel safe, tracing its roots back to childhood patterns, conditional love, and fear of rejection.I share my own vulnerable experiences of saying “yes” when my heart screamed “no,” the moment I finally chose myself, and the messy but beautiful process of breaking free from approval addiction. We also talk about practical ways to start your recovery journey: reclaiming your “no,” validating yourself, choosing rest, and standing firm in your truth—even when others don’t like it.This is more than just a conversation; it’s an invitation to take off the mask, honor your needs, and step into your authentic power. Plus, this week’s episode features not one but TWO special musical performances, including a soulful, stripped-down cover of Amerie’s iconic hit “1 Thing.” 🎶✨ Reflective Prompt: What would you do differently today if you didn’t fear disappointing others?🔗 Stay Connected Instagram | Threads | TikTok | Facebook | LinkedIn 🌐 WebsiteNeed help editing your own podcast episodes?Book my editor on Fiverr → Click HereExplore all of my favorite creator tools — including StreamYard and Descript — on my Affiliate Links page → Click Here✨ Don’t forget to rate, review, and share this episode with someone who needs the reminder that their worth isn’t found in over-giving.
