The Reclamation

🎙️ Episode 10: From People-Pleasing to Power — Rewriting the Story of Worthiness

• Paula Collins • Episode 10

Have you ever felt like you had to earn your place in the world by being nice, agreeable, or quiet?

In this raw and empowering solo episode, Paula shares her personal journey of breaking free from the trap of people-pleasing and stepping into authentic power. You’ll learn how self-abandonment shows up in the body, how worthiness has nothing to do with performance, and how to begin speaking your truth — even when it feels hard.

This episode is a reclamation call for every woman who’s ever whispered “yes” while her soul was screaming “no.”

✨ In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  • Why people-pleasing is a survival response, not a personality trait
  • How to spot self-abandonment in your daily life
  • The sacred art of honoring your “no”
  • Practices to reconnect with your truth, your voice, and your inner power
  • A gentle reminder: You don’t need to be perfect to be worthy
