What if the key to unlocking your true self was hidden in the very thing you fear most?

Rejection. That gut-wrenching feeling no people-pleaser wants to face. It's the monster under the bed, the shadow in the corner. But what if I told you...it doesn't have to be?

Resentment is not a wrong or bad emotion. It doesn't necessarily mean forgiveness has been withheld -- that's bitterness.

Resentment about a situation or in a relationship points to your boundaries being violated -- NOT ok.

There is no shame or guilt over feeling jealous. Jealousy doesn't make you a bad person.

You feel jealous of a person/situation b/c it points to something you want & don't have. Having wants isn't morally wrong.

Anxiety and insomnia often go hand in hand.
They point to each other.

Insomnia points us to a need to realign ourselves with our values because our core beliefs are conflicted. Anxiety points us to needs that are not being met and/or are being ignored.

Feeling sad is uncomfortable & we try to avoid it at all cost.
But when we violate our own softness by trying to NOT be sad, we literally ignore opportunity to understand & recognize what we truly love & care for.

Sadness is a pointer to our why in disappointing circumstances.

What depression is really saying is NOT that you don't care about yourself. Depression at its core is hidden anger -- sometimes so deeply hidden, we aren't even aware of the offense attached to it.

Once we uncover anger, we can then use the anger as a pointer to where we have need for change.

When we boldly come forth as an untamed, midlife woman, who used to live for others' approval, we learn we are capable of being both soft & powerful.

We recognize we are dark & light.
Fierce & delicate. Strong & gentle.

We hold duality & celebrate being both warrior princess & nurturing healer.

Don't know where to start on a task, situation, or emotion?

Ask yourself these 3 questions to get forward movement again:
1. What am I thinking? (about a situation, task, emotion, etc)
2. What am I telling myself? (about a situation, task, emotion, etc)
3. What is my immediate next move?

Nobody: This is the way to go.
Me: I don't want to go that way.
Nobody: But this is the way to go.
Me: So you are judging me for not going that way?! You hate me! I am a terrible person!
Nobody:...
Me: *stares off in perception fear & rethinks every move, thought, & feeling & how its received*

People-pleasing: A Childhood Habit You're Finally Breaking?⛓️‍💥

Turns out, that pesky people-pleasing habit might have deeper roots than you think.

Think back to your childhood:
😱Were your feelings consistently validated or were they often dismissed and minimized?

Important Note: It's crucial to remember that not all women experience societal pressures to the same extent. However, societal expectations DO contribute to people-pleasing tendencies.

From childhood, girls are often praised for being "good" and "obedient," creating a deep-seated need for external validation & growing into approval-seeking machines.
Queen, You don't need any human's approval to be worthy.👑

Society usually depicts "real women" as the primary caregivers of children, family, and others in the world, teaching them to consistently put the needs of others before their own, which feeds women as the caretaker/nurturers stereotype.🦋3/4

The "damsel in distress" trope teaches women to be helpless and in need of rescuing, reinforcing the idea that our value lies in our "vulnerability of being female."

"Nice girls finish last" – said NO ONE EVER. 💅 But society sure loves to try, doesn't it?

From the pressure to be "ladylike" to the constant barrage of unrealistic beauty standards, women are constantly bombarded with messages that prioritize pleasing others over prioritizing themselves. 🦋1/4

2025: Your Year of Liberation (from People-Pleasing!) 💥
Tired of saying "yes" when you really want to say "hell no"? 🙅‍♀️

People-pleasing is EXHAUSTING. It drains your energy, stifles your growth, and keeps you stuck in a cycle of resentment.

You're not here to entertain everyone -- Live your life on your own terms, not according to someone else's expectations.

You can't please everyone, & that's okay.
In fact, it's liberating!🐦‍🔥
January 9, 2025 at 4:50 PM
Trying to please everyone is like trying to herd cats – chaotic, exhausting, & ultimately futile.🐈🙀

Learn to embrace your haters. Some people will just never like you no matter what you do.

Prioritize your peace through authenticity over approval every time! Be yourself, unapologetically.

I'm a recovering people-pleaser. There are unhealthy patterns in my life I'm STILL trying to break. I shrink & get small; feeling like I won't be loved & accepted.

Living boldly out loud isn't easy for a recovering people-pleaser -- but it has been the most liberating move I've ever made. 🐦‍🔥

I'm a recovering people-pleaser.

Until I could admit most of my personality was based on pleasing others to receive approval & love, I wasn't able to see how these behaviors were unloving toward myself.
