People-pleasing isn’t just draining — it’s a full-on energy thief and a silent barrier to your power
In this episode, I’m talking with Erica Rooney, who brings over 15 years of insight into how people-pleasing shapes our professional and personal lives — often in ways we don’t realize.
Erica’s approach is all about realigning your career and life with your core values so you can stop bending over backwards and start showing up as your full, vibrant self.
We’re unpacking:
✔️ How people-pleasing fuels that low-grade stress and negative emotions you can’t shake
✔️ The hidden ways it sabotages your career, leadership, and workplace well-being
✔️ Why people-pleasing is more than a “bad habit” — it’s a nervous system pattern begging for healing
✔️ Steps to reclaim your boundaries, confidence, and authentic voice
✔️ How to move from seeking approval to owning your worth in all areas of life
If you’re tired of the exhausting cycle of trying to meet everyone else’s expectations and craving freedom to lead with courage and gentleness, this episode is your wake-up call.
🎧 Press play to start healing the people-pleaser inside you and expand into the bold, embodied leader you’re meant to be.
Join me live on Tuesday, August 26 for a free, nervous-system-based experience to help you finally feel the shift your mindset work couldn’t create.
