Dealing With Being a People Pleaser & Being a Burnt-Out Parent

Today Dawn is joined by Jamie Vollmoeller. Jamie is a mum, wife, group practice owner, clinical therapist, radio host, and certified clinical trauma professional. Jamie is on a mission to remind mums and parents that you are good enough and specialises in working with people pleasers, burnt-out parents, and professionals who feel chronically not good enough.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Part of finding freedom is embracing the full spectrum of emotions, recognizing that happiness isn't constant, and accepting negative emotions as part of the human experience. Striving for perpetual happiness is neither realistic nor attainable for anyone. 
• Children often mimic the body language and emotions of their parents, reflecting their caregivers' emotional states. Parents serve as emotional regulators for their children and should be projecting healthy emotional expression, providing comfort, and offering support during challenging times. 
• People often strive excessively to gain universal approval, morphing into social chameleons. Yet, this facade breeds unhappiness, as authenticity gets sacrificed. True contentment arises when one embraces their genuine self, finding their tribe among those who appreciate them for who they truly are.
• For Jamie, freedom is the ability to be herself in any situation and feel completely safe while doing so in both mind and body. 

BEST MOMENTS 

‘It was almost like I was a prisoner in my mind, I knew my thoughts were not true’

‘As parents we are their sense of safety, if I feel safe then so will they’

‘You’re not in control of other people, but you are in control of how you respond’ 

‘Thank you for that piece of advice, but I’m going to go my own way’
