Welcome to the premiere episode of the “It’s Not That” series on The Commitment to Growth Podcast! In this series, we delve deep into understanding ourselves and transforming our lives by shifting our perspective towards the struggles we face. Get ready for insightful discussions and practical tips to heal your inner people-pleaser challenges with grace.
 
In this episode, we explore the intricacies of people-pleasing, uncovering its roots and learning how to become more aware of our patterns from it. Mariana takes us on a journey of self-discovery, inviting us to examine our own behaviours and patterns that lead to self-abandonment in our relationships. "People-pleasing" isn't just a label; it's a symptom of deeper emotional wounds. From childhood experiences to societal expectations, we unpack the various factors that contribute to this behaviour.
 
Discover how to navigate the triggers that lead you to people-please and empower yourself to prioritize and communicate your needs and desires. Mariana will walk you through a powerful 3-step process to amplify the voice of your heart to reclaim your authenticity and break free from the cycle of people-pleasing - with a bonus included!
