Do you find yourself saying “yes” when you really want to say “no”? Do others’ opinions feel like they define your worth more than God’s love does? In this episode of the Full Life Podcast, Coach Zach Imboden sits down with biblical counselor Kim Parrish to explore what it looks like to move from a life driven by approval to one grounded in authenticity.

We’ll dig into:

- How people-pleasing shows up in everyday life — work, relationships, faith

- The emotional and spiritual cost of constantly trying to meet expectations

- The roots of people-pleasing: fear of rejection, shame, past hurt, and unhealthy beliefs

- Practical steps toward saying “no,” setting boundaries, and living true to God’s design

- How to reclaim your voice, your identity, and your freedom in Christ

If you’re ready to trade approval for authenticity and move from “pleasing people” to living your purpose, this episode is for you. You were made to thrive — not just survive.
