    I want every woman to have the ability to create a life of her choosing, filled with the freedom to embrace her desires. I’ve worked hard to create a program that helps women achieve this, but the real magic of my Stop People Pleasing program comes from the women themselves who are willing to take risks, expand their capacity for feeling uncomfortable, and develop the skills needed to live authentically without the weight of constantly pleasing others. In this episode, I’m so grateful to be joined by four amazing women from my program–Allyssya, Sara, Stephanie, and Susan–who share their journeys with people pleasing. You'll hear about the changes they have made in their daily lives and in how they see themselves. Here’s what we cover:

    • How a group program provides encouragement from other women on the same path
    • Why trust in yourself is crucial to turn your focus to your own desires
    • How people pleasing has a cost, and you often pay for it with your peace and happiness
    • Examples of which areas in life people-pleasing tendencies are most common
    • Why coaching provides you with the freedom to implement what you've learned whenever the time is right for you
    • How to start living a life you created instead of living a life someone chose for you when you stop people pleasing

    I can't wait for you to listen!

  • Episode 96 - What to Do When You Mess Up
    Jan 8 2025

    Send us a text

    Mistakes are a part of life–we all make them, whether it’s with ourselves, with others, or in pursuit of our goals. Even as we grow emotionally and strive for greater self-connection, our inner critical voice often shames us for every misstep. In this episode, I explore why self-compassion is key when we mess up, and how leaving self-criticism behind is essential to lasting growth. Here’s what I cover:

    • Examples that illustrate the way we were conditioned to fear making mistakes and the lasting impact this has
    • How to address the parts of yourself that are triggered when you mess up—the critic and the part that feels like you are in trouble—with compassion so you can move forward in a healthy way
    • Why caring for those parts allows us to separate ourselves from the mistakes we make
    • Sentences to say when you mess that preserve your self-respect and the sincerity of your apology
    • How people pleasers often conflate their self-worth with their actions, but you deserve to make a mistake and recover from it
    • Four questions to ask after you make a mistake to inspire a more loving response from yourself

    I can't wait for you to listen.

  • Episode 95 - How To Set Goals That Actually Work with Goli Kalkhoran
    Jan 1 2025

    Send us a text

    When it comes to goals and to-do lists, the unrealistic expectations we often have lead to feelings of inadequacy and overwhelm. Whether you want to set a goal for the new year or achieve a task this weekend, today’s guest, Goli Kalkhoran, shares why we often overreach and how to set practical and fulfilling goals that lead to success instead of shame. Here’s what we cover:

    • How it's possible to change your mindset so you feel good about yourself no matter what you achieve in a day
    • An exercise to illuminate the unreasonable nature of the level of productivity we often expect from ourselves
    • Why the perceptions of other people heavily factor into the unrealistic goals of people-pleasers
    • The idea of “time optimism” and how we use it to punish ourselves by ignoring the context of what is actually going on in our lives
    • Why focusing on only one goal for the year is an effective strategy
    • How to choose just one goal by using an exercise to examine areas of insufficiency in your life and asking yourself “What's the rush?”

    I can’t wait for you to listen.

    Goli Kalkhoran is Master Certified Life Coach, and former attorney, who helps unfulfilled professionals create a career (and life) they actually like.
