Awakened Living with Nibodhi

Break Free From People Pleasing With Self-Compassion

Listen Later

People pleasing is a trauma response rooted in the need for safety and belonging. Nibodhi shares how this pattern develops in childhood and how it leads to self-abandonment over time. With compassion and a simple breathwork practice, you can begin to sit with discomfort and choose authenticity over approval.

In this episode, you will learn:

  • Why people pleasing starts as a survival skill
  • How hypervigilance disconnects you from self
  • Ways to pause before saying yes under pressure
  • How breathwork builds emotional resilience
  • What choosing authenticity actually feels like
