Inner Work With MaryAnn Walker: Stop People Pleasing and Start Honoring You!
Welcome to Inner Work with MaryAnn Walker—the podcast for recovering people pleasers (many of whom are also highly sensitive) who are ready to stop living on autopilot and finally start honoring themselves.
I work with those who feel emotionally drained from saying yes when they want to say no, from carrying everyone else’s emotions on their shoulders, and from constantly showing up for others while quietly abandoning themselves.
You’ve spent years being the dependable one—the caretaker, the partner, the parent, the professional—and now you’re realizing you’ve lost touch with who you are outside of those roles.
You may feel:
- Burned out from trying to make everyone happy
- Anxious about disappointing others
- Unsure of your own needs, wants, and boundaries
- Overwhelmed by the pressure to keep the peace, even when it costs you your own
If this sounds like you, you’re not broken—and you’re definitely not alone.
As a certified life coach who specializes in supporting recovering people pleasers and highly sensitive souls, I’ll guide you through tools and practices to help you:
- Set guilt-free boundaries that stick
- Reclaim your time, energy, and peace of mind
- Build authentic connections without self-abandonment
- Process emotions in a healthy, empowering way
- Reconnect with who you really are—not just who others need you to be
Each week, I’ll share personal stories, practical strategies, and mindset shifts to help you move from over-giving and burned out to clear, confident, and deeply connected—with yourself and with others.

22: The Drama Triangle Part 3: Rescuer/Coach
Welcome to part 3 of the drama triangle series!
Rescuer energy wants to help. But often times, the motives are muddles. Rescuer energy "helps" in order to get a specific return. This might be in the form of gratitude or a specific emotional response. This can show up as White Knight syndrome. This is where the Knight saves the damsel, but also perpetuates that damsel energy so he can remain the white knight!
Let's explore both the Rescuer energy as well as its antidote, the Coach.
