The Heart-Centered Connector: Breaking Free from the Pleaser Pattern

Send us a text

Today we explore the journey of Amara, a natural helper who discovers the path from exhaustive giving to heart-centered leadership. Through a powerful dream sequence, Amara confronts her people-pleasing tendencies and embraces her authentic self as a soul guide.

• The story begins with Amara, whose empathic abilities let her feel others' needs before they're expressed
• Amara's constant giving leads to burnout and a moment of reckoning when she loses her job
• In a dream, she meets her higher self who teaches her that "love isn't something you earn, it's what you are"
• Four feminine archetypes emerge representing different aspects of empowered leadership: The Soulful Architect, Inspired Achiever, Creative Alchemist, and Empowered Catalyst
• Amara confronts her people-pleasing shadow and integrates it through compassion
• She awakens to build a business rooted in her truth rather than martyrdom
• The narrative invites listeners to examine their own patterns of giving from depletion versus overflow

Join our Conscious Creators Circle Facebook group to guess which Enneagram type Amara represents and win prizes including an intuitive reading. Also, don't miss James Wedmore's free training series "The Rise of the Digital CEO" starting May 29th - I'll provide a free private group for those who sign up to help launch their passive income business online.

So, with that said, we aregoing to listen to a story about
love, about love.

(02:05):
Today's story is one of love,the kind that exhausts you and
the kind that heals you.
It's about a woman named Amaraand the day she woke up from a
life of over giving.
Let's drop in place a hand onyour heart, breathe, feel into

(02:33):
the space where love has alwayslived.
Amara had a gift she could feelwhat others needed before they
said a word.
She called it empathy.
Her friends called it magic.
Her boss called itindispensable, but her body
called it magic.
Her boss called itindispensable, but her body
called it exhaustion.
She was the helper, thepeacemaker, the
let-me-fix-that-for-you girl.

(02:55):
She made everyone feel seen.
But when she looked in themirror she barely recognized
herself.
One day, after solving yetanother emotional crisis at work
, she sat alone in the breakroom and felt the strangest
thing.
Nothing Is this, all I am, shewondered.

(03:19):
A vessel for everyone else'spain.
That day, something cracked andthe light started leaking.
In A week later, amara got acall.
Her department was beingrestructured.
She'd been so appreciated, theysaid, but her role no longer

(03:43):
needed.
She smiled politely, said allthe right things, but when she
hung up she felt a strangerelief wash over her.
What if this wasn't the end?
What if it was my invitationhome?
She didn't know who she waswithout being needed, but she

(04:05):
was about to find out.
That night, amara had a dream Asacred garden, lush, wild and
fragrant.
In the center stood a glowingfigure wrapped in rose gold
light.
It was her higher self, theheart-centered connector.

(04:28):
She reached out, placing a handover Amara's heart.
You've given so much beautifulone, she whispered.
But love isn't something youearn.
It's what you are.
You are here to heal the worldthrough love-fueled leadership,

(04:51):
not by rescuing others, but byembodying your own worth.
Amara exhaled For the firsttime.
She felt her own love return toher.
The garden shimmered.
Out of the light, four femininefigures emerged Her inner

(05:17):
counsel, her hidden strengths.
Clothed in white and gold, thesoulful architect stepped
forward.
She held a scroll of sacredstructure your heart is a
compass, but your mission needsscaffolding.
You're here to architect abetter world with aligned

(05:40):
systems and soul-led boundaries.
She handed Amara the scroll, ablueprint of a business built on
values, draped in radiantcopper and sunlight.
Draped in radiant copper andsunlight.
The inspired achiever steppedforward.
Her energy electric.
You don't have to hide.
You are meant to be seen.

(06:01):
You are meant to be authentic.
It is your magnetism.
You're here to inspire othersby letting your soul shine in
success.
She gave Amara a mirror, not tojudge, but to see her
brilliance clearly Wrapped indeep indigo and velvet.

(06:26):
The creative alchemist stepsforward holding a paintbrush
dripping with stars.
You've carried so muchemotional weight, but your pain
is sacred material.
You're here to alchemize itinto beauty and weave truth into
everything you offer.

(06:46):
She placed the paintbrush inAmara's hand.
Permission to turn feeling intoart.
With eyes like lightning andpresence like thunder, the
empowered catalyst steps forward.
She wore a cloak of black andcrimson.

(07:07):
Stop shrinking love.
Your softness is not weakness,it's power.
You're here to be a force ofsoul-led transformation.
She gave Amara a key to unlockher own bold voice.
Together they surrounded her,not as rescuers but as

(07:33):
reflections of her soul strength.
But as the light grew, a shadowcrept in Tired eyes, tight smile
, holding a tray of everyoneelse's needs.
It was the pleaser, the part ofAmara who thought love must be

(07:55):
earned.
If you stop giving, you'll beabandoned.
If you speak your truth, you'llhurt people.
Amara looked at her and sawherself younger, afraid,
desperate to be enough.
She stepped forward.

(08:17):
Thank you for protecting me,she whispered.
But I don't need to be lovedfor what I do.
I am already loved.
She wrapped her arms around thepleaser and as she did, the
shadow softened, then meltedinto light.
Amara woke with tears on hercheeks and clarity in her chest.

(08:41):
She didn't go back to fixing,she didn't rush to be useful.
She paused, listened, letherself be filled and then she
began building a business rootedin her truth, a sacred space

(09:02):
where clients felt seen.
Because she had finally seenherself.
She became a soul guide,leading not from martyrdom but
from embodiment.
Not love in depletion, but lovein overflow.

(09:29):
Now you, love, place your handon your heart, close your eyes
and ask yourself when have Ibeen giving to be safe instead
of receiving to be full?
What would change if I trustedthat I am enough, even when I'm
not needed?
What sacred business, whatsoul-led service might rise if I

(09:54):
led from wholeness.
Instead of hustle, breathe intoit.
Feel your truth return.
You don't need to breathe yourword.
You are the word.
Let love come home to you.
You are the heart-centeredconnector.
Your presence is a gift.
Your truth is a healing.

(10:16):
Your love is a transmission.
Lead from that and your workwill become medicine for the
world.
