Are you trapped in the cycle of people-pleasing and losing sight of who you truly are? It took me over four decades to break free, and this episode is here to guide you on the journey of self-worth and acceptance. Join me as I reveal seven transformative lessons that helped me let go of the exhausting need to be everything to everyone. In this episode, you’ll learn:

  1. Why letting go of what others think can liberate you and allow you to live more authentically
  2. How suppressing emotions can lead to toxicity and why expressing feelings is essential for well-being
  3. The importance of self-acceptance and how it frees you from the exhausting cycle of people pleasing and seeking external validation
