Join us in this episode as we talk about ways to avoid the "perfectionism" trap and move into ways of finding balance.

If it doesn't serve you, it's time to let it go.
It’s a simple, yet powerful reminder for all of us to recognize what’s draining our energy, preventing growth and hindering our happiness - whether it’s a relationship, habit, belief or physical possession.
When was the last time you checked in with yourself to identifying which areas of your life are not serving your well-being?
It's time for a life audit.

You’ve probably heard the old saying - there’s 2 sides to every story - yours and mine. But I’d venture to go even further and say there’s a 3rd side that lies somewhere in the middle where both sides collide. It’s called the truth.
Join me in this episode as we begin to analyze this month's new theme "Letting Go and Moving On" with a new song - His Story co-written with my friend and producer, Charles Mansour.

In this episode we dig into the interrelationship of avoidance and control.

Join me in this episode as I share what I found out about my avoidance issues.

Joining us on this episode as we continue our conversation on avoidance is listener favorite, Megan Flores, LPC-MHSP.
She describes the difference between willful and blind avoidance (and yes, there's a difference!) as well as sharing some advice on how to address avoidance in a healthy way.
Her thoughts:
1) Are you able to be honest with yourself?
2) What would you say to yourself 1 year from now, 5 years from now, 10 years from n...
Let's be honest. We've all been in situations where we have either intentionally or unintentionally avoided doing something. Maybe it was a conversation we know we should have had or procrastinated on a task that's unpleasant or overwhelming (like work, studying or exercise)!
But did you know there are different types of avoidance?!
In this episode we take a closer look at some of those types and the meaning behind them. I'm willin...
In this episode of the Eager to Please podcast we start our deep dive in to our new theme, AVOIDANCE, and you know what that means! A new song!
"Stay Busy" written with the infamous Steve Seskin, thoughtfully points out why people stay busy (to avoid pain or dealing with situations they don't want to deal with) but it also calls the listener to action.
You don't have to stay feeling stuck. You can choose to work through the tou...
In this episode, we reflect on all we’ve talked about as it relates to the “I’m Fine” phrase and why people tend to say it.
It starts with emotional wellness and according to Holly & Scott Stoner, licensed marriage and family therapists, we need to start making our emotional wellbeing personal.
Ask yourself these questions:
- Is there a particular emotion that is challenging for you to express? ...
Why do we feel the need to tell people we're fine, everything's fine, when it's really not?
In this episode we sit down with my sister, Michelle Costa, who has lived out this phrase her entire life.
Sharing from personal experiences, she digs into why people do this and why it's so important to listen to your "gut feeling" when things aren't fine.
Learning to lean on those people who love you most, and not push them away was a pivo...
Change is never easy. In fact, it's terrifying!
But, for the first time in my life, I truly mean it when I say I'm fine. Join me in this episode to find out why!

Perfect. Balanced. Happy. That's what I used to think Camelot was until I figured out that place does not exist.
Sure, it's fun to imagine yourself there, but the reality is that those qualities can't be found externally. In order to find peace, balance and happiness, you have to find that within yourself. You have to learn to love and take care of the person who looks back at you in the mirror every day.
I hope Camelot brings you ...

Can't wait to hear from you!
Change can be scary, but sometimes it's necessary, even essential, if you're just going through the motions, not enjoying what you're doing or how you're living life.
And when you've been living your life for everyone else but yourself, it can be confusing knowing where to start. The first step in becoming whole again is getting to know what matters to you - what values drive you. I invite you to take the values profile quiz of...
As humans, we innately crave connection, belonging and purpose.
But when we base our self-worth on outside factors, like productivity, financial success or what others think of us, we quickly lose sight of what truly fulfills us.
Join us on this episode as we chat with MaryBeth Hyland, a values-based mindfulness coach, who reminds us that values come from within; and if we are not in alignment with those core values, our life quick...
Setting boundaries can be difficult if you don't know how to set healthy ones or how to communicate them effectively.
In this episode, we are blessed to sit down with Grammy-nominated, songwriter-singer and educator, Steve Seskin, as we take a deeper look at why it's important to set boundaries (even for men!) and why we chose to write Boundaries in the first place.
It's an episode you don't wanna miss!
Follow Steve here:
New Month. New Theme. New Song. Let's talk about boundaries!
I don't know about you, but I always viewed boundaries as a barrier between two objects, usually put up for safety or establishing lines.
In this episode we debunk the common myth that boundaries are a negative thing, rather than a healthy way of communicating and establishing effective, loving relationships.
