83 | Explaining the people pleaser to rage pipeline


Listen Later

Ever gone from smiling sweetly through discomfort… to fantasizing about slapping someone in the face?


Yeah. Same.


In this episode, I break down the people pleaser to rage pipeline—what happens when your body has been stuck in a fawn-freeze loop for years, and then finally starts to thaw. Spoiler: it’s not always cute. Sometimes, it’s loud, messy, and full of backlogged “no’s” that come out all at once.

I share my own story of how learning French (and drinking cheap wine) unlocked a rage I didn’t even know I was holding—and what it taught me about the biology of fawning, freeze responses, and unexpressed boundaries.


We also get into:

* Why rage is a natural part of recovery from people-pleasing

* Why cathartic rage practices (like screaming or punching pillows) aren’t always trauma-informed

* How to work with anger in a way that’s titrated, embodied, and safe

* The power of translating somatic cues into real-life boundaries


If your body has been whispering “I’m not okay” for years—this episode is your permission slip to start listening.
