Are there any people pleasers or recovering perfectionists here? I know I certainly am one of those. My dear friend Samantha Joy is on the podcast today and she's not only an expert in recovering from people pleasing and perfectionism, she's also a total boss. As the founder of Landon Hail Press, she's helped dozens of authors get on the best selling list and she is passionate about the work that she does.

Quotes from this episode:
"Identity isn't about becoming someone else. It is not even about becoming better, dare I say. It is about becoming you. It's about peeling back layers."

"The solution to our problems is not found in adding more. It is in releasing, letting go, surrender. And that's where all the clarity comes. That's where we really find that true identity so that when everyday things are getting thrown at us, we can feel into what is right and lean into it and have the confidence to say no, so we can say yes."

"So whatever you're going through that you are holding as your excuse to block you from what your heart really wants and is fully capable of,  go into that. Investigate, make that your reason, because that will become your fuel."
