Grounded Wildness
Let's face it. You've been surrounded by messages your entire life telling you to prove your worth through achievement, success, likability, and a million other forms of being "good." Over time, those messages become rules you follow, often without even knowing it. Those rules make you believe everything will fall apart if you slow down. They tell you it’s your job to be responsible for everything and take care of everyone. They make you feel guilty for saying no. They tell you to prove, please, and perfect your way through life. It's time to stop. It's time to break those rules – and start living in grounded wildness. Join speaker, award-winning author of 'An Overachiever's Guide to Breaking the Rules' and 'Grounded Wildness', and recovering perfectionist Heather Whelpley as she shares honest conversations that will empower you to stop performing your life and start LIVING it. If you're tired of burnout, hustle culture, and the weight of “should” and “supposed-to” and want more joy, impact, and freedom in your life, this podcast is for you.

EP. 27 - Four Ways You're Performing Your Life - Part Two: Pleasing
Today is the second in our four-part series on the ways we perform in our lives - and we're digging straight into people-pleasing. It's SO common. People-pleasing rules make you feel like you can't disappoint anyone, have to say yes to everything, and must take care of everything and keep everyone happy. They make you worry about what other people will think and can hold you back from following your own path and living your true, not to mention putting yourself anywhere on the list of people you take care of!
In today's episode, we'll cover:
- How Heather realized she had some people-pleasing tendencies - and what she's doing to unravel those rules
- Why disconnecting from pleasing is different that proving and perfecting - and why it's okay if it's harder for you to let people-pleasing go
- How pleasing rules sometimes stop you from doing what you desire -- and how sometimes you do the thing anyway and THEN the rules show up causing stress and worry
- All the ways we please so that you can recognize your own patterns - and start to break free from them!
