😈 Lessons of a recovered people pleaser
Manage episode 398272234 series 3512105
Ever feel like your eagerness to please others is more of a curse than a virtue? You're not the only one. I'm Christina Modaffari, host of the Hot Genius Podcast, and this episode is a deep dive into my own transformation from a chronic people pleaser to someone who now thrives on self-awareness and healthy boundaries. Peel back the layers of our brain's natural stress responses with me, and let's shed the shame attached to people-pleasing by understanding its roots in our nervous system. Learn how to recognize these patterns in your life and how setting boundaries can become your most liberating act yet.
This conversation is more than just personal anecdotes; it's an invitation to redefine the journey to self-improvement. During the quiet introspection imposed by Melbourne's lockdown, I confronted the truth that my people-pleasing tendencies were stress-induced survival tactics rather than intrinsic personality traits. Our discussion will guide you through the subtleties of recognising stress responses and the importance of demarcating your true self from these automatic reactions. I'm incredibly grateful to you, the listeners, for joining this crucial dialogue and supporting the growth of the Hot Genius community, as we collectively navigate the road to reclaiming our authentic selves.
