episode 27. *MVP Replay* In Defense of People Pleasers
*This episode is part of my MVP Replay Series—the most impactful shared conversations from The Voice of You.
If you've ever found yourself saying yes when you meant no...
If you've ever felt like it was your job to keep everyone else happy...
If you've ever wondered why it's so hard to put yourself first without guilt…
This episode is for you.
Today, we’re digging deep into the heart of people-pleasing — and why it’s not a weakness. It’s not about being "too nice" or "too soft."
It’s about strength. Survival. And the incredible ways your body has learned to protect you.
Inside, we’ll explore:
What the "fawn" response really is (and why it makes so much sense)
Why people-pleasing isn’t about brokenness—it’s about brilliance that needs updating
How to honor the part of you that learned to take care of everyone else, and begin learning how to care for yourself, too
The real questions to ask yourself (if you're ready to change the pattern, without self-blame or shame)
Because healing isn’t about getting rid of your instincts.
It’s about meeting them with love and building new ones that serve you, too.
