From Exhaustion to Empowerment: Breaking Free from People Pleasing

Seasoned Dialogue with Lisa-Marie

In this episode of Seasoned Dialogue, we're diving deep into the world of people pleasing. People pleasing often leads to a severe lack of boundaries, self-esteem issues, and a constant need for validation. I know firsthand that changing this behavior is challenging and forces us to reflect on our fears—whether it’s fear of rejection or grappling with low self-esteem.
I recommend strategies like writing down your feelings and setting clear boundaries to begin overcoming these tendencies. It’s also crucial to manage guilt, affirm your self-worth, and limit exposure to negative influences for self-care. It’s equally important to celebrate your progress, no matter how small, in setting boundaries and prioritizing yourself. After all, saying yes to yourself and no to others sometimes is necessary for mental and emotional well-being.
Failing to set boundaries can take a real toll on your health, impacting your lifestyle and overall well-being. Prioritizing self-care isn’t just a buzzword; it’s essential for your happiness. Happiness should always come from within, and it's not your responsibility to make others happy.
People pleasers not only lack boundaries but also feel responsible for others' feelings. This leads to exhaustion and resentment because there's rarely any reciprocation. It's a constant cycle of prioritizing others at the expense of self, which can even strain relationships due to an inability to be authentic or communicate openly.
I host self-love coaching sessions for both men and women to address these deep-rooted issues. In these sessions, we focus on doing the work with intention to foster genuine self-love and personal growth. Remember, your worth isn’t tied to how useful or agreeable you are to others.
I hope this encapsulates the essence of the podcast episode for you!
