***SIGN UP FOR THE PEOPLE PLEASING SUMMIT***
Have you ever wondered why you say yes when you mean no or why setting boundaries feels downright terrifying, even with people you love?
In this deeply honest and powerful episode, I sit down with Cora Rennie, a craniosacral therapist and recovering people pleaser, to unpack the fawning trauma response and how it shows up in our relationships. Cora opens up about her personal healing journey, including a terrifying stalking experience that led her to confront the patterns that kept her stuck. We explore how people pleasing is more than just a habit... it’s often a deeply wired survival strategy linked to your attachment style.
If you’ve ever felt like you lose yourself in relationships or struggle to find your voice, you are absolutely not alone and this conversation will speak directly to your heart.
You might want to listen if:
- You feel like you’re constantly shape-shifting to make others comfortable
- You intellectually know your patterns but can’t seem to change them
- You’ve been told you're the “good girl” or “too nice,” and it’s draining you
- You’ve experienced emotional overwhelm or shutdown when trying to set boundaries
- You’re craving real connection but don’t feel safe enough to fully show up
