Breaking the ‘I’m Not a People-Pleaser’ Myth
Manage episode 463631499 series 3476724
Have you ever thought that doing everything yourself is a sign of strength, only to find it leads to burnout and resentment? That's exactly what happened to me. I used to believe my hyper-independence was my greatest asset until I realised it was a form of people-pleasing that left me feeling unappreciated and exhausted. Join me as I share the surprising ways people-pleasing can manifest in our lives, often without us knowing, and how it might be holding you back from true success and fulfilment.
Throughout this episode, we'll explore how patterns like resentment, the struggle for acceptance, and the tendency to prioritise "we" over "I" can deeply affect both personal and professional realms. These behaviours often mask deeper people-pleasing tendencies that can sabotage your career and relationships. I'll share insights from my journey and discuss how recognising and addressing these patterns has allowed me to reclaim my power and begin to feel truly seen in the workplace. Together, we'll uncover how childhood experiences shape these tendencies and how learning to delegate and trust others can open doors to unexpected opportunities and growth.
Finally, for leaders and entrepreneurs, the journey doesn’t end with recognition. It’s about fostering self-trust and intuition in environments where external feedback is scarce. We’ll discuss actionable strategies to break free from the cycle of seeking validation and tap into your true potential. Plus, I’ll introduce you to the Self-Sabotage Solution program—a chance to gain awareness and practical tools for transformation. Get ready to leave behind the cycle of procrastination and people-pleasing and step into a future where you lead with confidence and clarity.
If this resonates and you’re ready to get out of your own way, come and join us for the Self Sabotage Solution, a brand-new 4 week program starting 3rd February at www.balanceinstitute.com/selfsabotagesolution
