63 | How to Stop People-Pleasing Behaviors and Lead From a Place of Confidence


Listen Later

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Christian Life Coach Anne Wooten, whose story of spiritual burnout, people-pleasing, and personal transformation is sure to resonate with any woman who’s felt stuck in a cycle of striving and self-doubt.

Anne opens up about the root causes behind her decades-long struggle to receive love—from others and from God—and how people-pleasing left her emotionally exhausted, spiritually disconnected, and feeling unworthy. But her story didn’t end there. God used a season of brokenness to bring Anne into freedom, clarity, and deep-rooted identity in Christ.

Together, we unpack:

  • How faith leads us to true forgiveness—starting with ourselves

  • Why people-pleasing is a form of pride (and how to break free from it)

  • How journaling with the Holy Spirit can rewire your mindset and bring daily peace

  • The connection between unforgiveness and spiritual stagnation

  • Why receiving God’s love is the key to walking confidently in your purpose

Anne also shares her powerful Faith Lift Challenge and a quote that will shift your mindset each morning:

“Let gratitude be the compass of your attitude.”

If you’ve been walking through a season of transition, uncertainty, or just feeling spiritually off—this episode is your invitation to slow down, sit with Jesus, and let Him renew your heart and mind.

🎧 Listen in and be reminded: You don’t have to earn God’s love. You just need to receive it—and live like it’s true.
