It’s Always the Nice Ones: Why People-Pleasing is Making You Sick


Listen Later

You’ve probably heard the phrase: “It’s always the nice ones.” And maybe, like me, you once thought that was a compliment.

But it’s not.

That phrase haunted me during my years in healthcare, whispered between nurses and doctors when patients who “did everything right” still ended up with the worst outcomes. And now, after years of working with high-achieving women as a hypnotist, I understand exactly why that happens.

In this episode, I’m getting real about the hidden cost of being the nice one—the self-sacrificer, the peacekeeper, the one who puts everyone else first. I walk you through how people-pleasing and emotional suppression don’t just exhaust you mentally… they actually impact your nervous system, your hormones, your immune response, and your genetic expression.

Here’s what we’re diving into:

  • Why N.I.C.E. = Neglecting Inner Compass Every day—and how that pattern forms

  • How childhood conditioning wires us to seek validation through self-abandonment

  • What chronic low-level stress does to your immune system, cortisol, and long-term health

  • The real reason women get stuck in “doing what’s expected” even when it makes them miserable

  • Why it’s not selfish to choose your joy—it’s necessary for vitality

This is about more than mindset. Your body knows when you're out of alignment. And the longer you override your intuition in order to be good, pleasing, or acceptable, the more strain you place on your system.

I share how hypnosis helps clients release these subconscious patterns—whether it’s perfectionism, over-giving, guilt, or the fear that they’re only lovable when they’re useful. You’ll hear how even identity-level beliefs, like “I’m responsible for everyone’s happiness,” can finally be released when the subconscious feels safe enough to let go.

It’s not about becoming someone new—it’s about becoming who you were before the world told you to be nice.
