Are You Parenting Your Kids — Or People-Pleasing Them?
This episode is for the mom who keeps saying yes when she means no — and is finally ready to understand why.
In this solo episode, MaKenzie opens with a vulnerable life update on her sickness, her healing journey with the healthcare system, and the wound she had to face this week around trust, support, and asking for help. Then she dives into the teaching: the sneaky, invisible pattern of people-pleasing your children — and why it has nothing to do with being a bad mom and everything to do with your nervous system and your human design.
You'll learn why fawning is a survival response, how open centers in your human design chart make you absorb your child's emotions as if they were your own, and why permissiveness feels less safe to your kids than a regulated, grounded no. MaKenzie shares the five practical shifts that helped her stop abandoning herself to keep her kids comfortable — and start parenting from the kind of regulation that actually breaks cycles.
What We Cover
The personal life update — healing the wound around the healthcare system, antibiotics, and learning to receive support. Why people-pleasing your kids is not the same as being a loving, attuned parent. The exact behaviors that signal you are people-pleasing your child without realizing it. The nervous system response of fawning and why your body reads your child's meltdown as a threat. How human design and open centers cause moms to absorb and amplify their child's emotions. Why this pattern is generational and rooted in how we were raised. The hidden cost — why your kids do not actually feel as safe as you think they do with a permissive parent. The five practical shifts to stop people-pleasing your children and start regulating instead.
