About this episode
In this episode, I talk about one of the biggest challenges my clients face— people pleasing , especially around food and the holidays. December brings more gatherings, more comments, more food pushers… and more pressure to say yes when what we really want is to stay aligned with our goals. I share why people pleasing feels so tempting in the moment and how it actually connects back to our primitive survival instincts. I walk through common situations—like taking a drink you don’t want, eating something because someone made it “for you,” or choosing food based on how you think others will judge you. I also teach you how to stop people pleasing by: deciding ahead of time what you truly want, understanding your “why,” and choosing thoughts on purpose when comments or pressure come your way. And if you’ve been calling yourself a “people pleaser,” I show you how to shift into the identity of a recovering people pleaser so you can start honoring your own decisions with more confidence. This episode will help you enter the holidays—and the new year—feeling more grounded, intentional, and committed to saying yes to yourself .
