The bulldozer cycle, in relation to people pleasing, is the concept of feeling perpetually flattened by the demands and needs of others, trapped in a hidden cycle that leads to burnout and frustration. I’ll be the first to admit that setting healthy boundaries that lead to healing is hard but choosing to stay stuck in the never-ending cycle is harder. You’ve got to pick your poison. In this week’s episode 325 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m teaching you how to go from flattened to free, escaping the bulldozer cycle. 

Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:

• The meaning of the “bulldozer cycle” and how it affects relationships.
• The difference between being bulldozed and being a bulldozer (even in subtle ways).
• The importance of self-awareness and responsibility in breaking unhealthy patterns.
• Practical steps for setting boundaries and regulating your nervous system.
• Inspirational questions to reflect on your own patterns of being bulldozed or bulldozing others.

You don’t have to stay flattened or bulldoze others to feel safe. With courage and the right tools, you can stand tall in your own dignity and create healthier, more authentic relationships.
