Are you overwhelmed by the things on your to-do list? Burnt out from work? Struggling to balance your work life, home life, and time for yourself?

It's easy to feel that way, especially as people pleasers where we want to do everything for everyone.

And our guest today, Maggie Perotin, is no stranger to the struggle of overwhelm and burn out. Maggie realized that she was burning out in her corporate career when she was taking on too much and it was negatively affecting her home life.

In this episode, Maggie shares her journey of breaking away from the overwhelm and starting her own business as an international business and leadership coach to help others be successful without the burnout.

You will learn the 3 main steps to reduce overwhelm, see how people pleasing moves us away from who we are, and how we are all leaders and need to take care of ourselves to be good leaders.

It's time to breakaway from the overwhelm and start living full lives without the burn out.

Has there been a time where you felt like you should have said something but you didn't? Are you able to speak up and hold your boundaries? Or are you always inconveniencing yourself?

As people pleasers, we tend to shy away from telling people what we truly want. We think that if we speak up that it will come off too harshly, people won't accept us and we worry that it will make others uncomfortable.

Well it's time to change that. It's time to start speaking up for ourselves and be more assertive. And we can do it in a way that makes us show up even more authentically. To help us with this, we are joined by Cara Tuttle Bell.

Cara Tuttle Bell is a speaker, author, consultant, and an activist-educator with over fifteen years experience working in higher education on gender equity, sexual harassment and assault prevention, and assertiveness. Cara is the author of Drowning in Timidity: Women, Politeness, and the Power of Assertive Living.

In this episode, Cara teaches us how to be assertive, not aggressive, learn how to show up for yourself, communicate your needs and how being assertive helps you be authentic.

Do you ever feel like you're not good enough? Do you doubt your ability? Do you worry that you are going to be caught as a fraud?

If you've ever felt this way, you've experienced imposter syndrome.

Imposter syndrome can really take a toll on how you show up for yourself. You are always worried about being 'found out' so you tend to play small, suffer from anxiety and don't own your gifts and abilities.

It's time to ditch imposter syndrome. Thankfully, imposter syndrome isn't something that we just have to deal with, but something that we can actually overcome.

Sheryl Anjanette is an Imposter Syndrome Expert and joins us today to discuss her best selling book, The Imposter Lies Within: Silence Your Inner Critic, Tame Your Fear, Unleash Your Badassery.

In this episode we discuss what imposter syndrome is, where it comes from and how we can leave it behind and live in our healthy zone instead.

As people pleasers, it's often hard for us to trust and listen to ourselves. We are so filled with the voices of other people and what they want us to do and what they think we should do. We push aside the small whispers (or don't even hear them) inside of us that tell us to do or not to do something because the outside voices are louder.

To help us really take control of our lives, we need to pay attention to those whispers. We need to lean into them and take action. And I know that's not as easy as it sounds, so we are joined by Elena Sonnino to help us out.

Elena Sonnino is a life coach, speaker, yoga teacher and now author of Inhabit Your Joy: A Book of Nudges. In this episode, she shares her experience from ignoring the whispers to living her life based off of the whispers.

Elena teaches us how to listen to our whispers, how to become our own best friend and how to live into our personal core values.

This episode will help you to get back to the person you are meant to be and take control of your life.

The journey from people pleasing to living life on your terms is going to require some changes. And the ability to change starts with making a decision.

To help us put ourselves first, we need to decide to love ourselves, to choose ourselves and to believe in ourselves.

When we make that decision to put ourselves first, we stop focusing on external approval, we stop worrying about what other people think and we stop worrying about pleasing everyone else.

Debbie Freeman joins us for this episode to share her journey of having a succcesful career as a performer, entrepreneur and dance captain of the Radio City Rockettes, to losing everything when she went through a divorce with an addict to making the choice to take back her life, lose 100 pounds and become Ms. Nevada at the age of 51.

In this episode we discuss:

• The power of making a decision
• Accepting your imperfections
• Understanding it's not about what other people think
• Knowing your self worth
• Your unique sparkle
• Choosing yourself

It's easy to live life out of alignment when we're focused on external valdiation. As people pleasers, it's easy for us to get caught up in whatever other people think of us, how other people define success and do whatever will give us the attention and validation we think we need. And when we are living out of alignment we are not living to our fullest potential.

So how does one stop people pleasing and step into their power? Is it even possible after being a lifelong habitual people pleaser? The answer is YES! Of course, stepping out of people pleasing and into your power isn't easy, but nothing worthwhile ever is. It takes major mindset shifts, daily practices, and drastic action toward loving oneself. Although it may seem difficult, it is possible, and it is something our guest on today's episode has been able to achieve.

From people pleasing from a young age to protect herself and her family, to stepping into her most empowered self where she is now able to help others do the same. Erin Bogdan, authenticity coach, soul purpose activator, and recovering people pleaser, joins us today to share her journey with cultivating self worth to step out of people pleasing and into her most authentic self. She took inspired actions that led her to the other side of the world and back, as well as quitting her 6 figure job to pursue her dreams as an entrepreneur. Erin's story is truly inspirational for anyone suffering from people pleasing habits.

Releasing yourself from living for others is possible, and uncovering your true potential is your right. Don't miss this episode to learn practical ways you can also be your most authentic self and live your most aligned life.

Topics discussed in this episode:

• Erin's people pleasing journey and when she realized she was a people pleaser
• Erin's deep healing experience in Bali and how you can experience healing without the trip
• Tips on how to cultivate self worth to live authentically
• How to understand your own thoughts
• How to take your power back and find worthiness within
• Erin's transition from leaving a 6 figure job to becoming an entrepreneur
