Today I want to talk about something really important…

…this is going to get personal really fast, I am a recovering people pleaser.

First, what is ‘people pleasing’? People-pleasing involves putting someone else's needs ahead of your own. People-pleasers are highly attuned to others and are often seen as agreeable, helpful, and kind. 

For years I called myself empathetic, I am just really intuitive to other people’s feelings, it’s like a gift I have. I just REALLY care about others, I am a nice person goddamn it! 

Okay whilst some of that is true it didn’t explain why at the end of the day I felt so rubbish, exhausted and utterly alone.

I mean I am giving so much to so many and here I am resenting it. 

This week on the podcast we are talking about How People Pleasing Destroys Creativity. 

You are NEVER being selfish for wanting to pursue your art. 

It is a natural and necessary part of being a human. Of being alive. 

So if you need permission please take this as the permission you need to take some time for yourself and your art because your time is so super precious. Start saying yes to you. Your music. Your work. Your creativity. Your love for yourself. 

Music is healing, it’s loyal. When you start to give it the time and energy it really will look after you in the most beautiful and fulfilling ways!

See you inside the Be Radical Make Music Facebook Group for more conversations and connections!
