It’s Your Turn

I get this a lot from clients and when I’m conducting leadership development classes. 

We can’t set boundaries at work. After-all, we’re being paid to do what we’re told. 

Or, being paid to “manage” others, so that includes fixing the things they do wrong, or staying late to finish the project they are behind on, etc. 

In today’s episode of Liberate Your People Pleaser I’m going to challenge some of those thoughts. 

There’s a difference between managing and over-functioning for someone else. 

There’s a difference between being paid to do a job and never saying no. 

Join me for a practical and powerful conversation about leaving behind our people pleasing habits when we go to work. 

As always, I can’t wait to get your comments and feedback!

Is there a dark side to empathy? 

I have so many clients who are plagued by being so empathetic, they are overwhelmed by all the feelings they are picking up from others, and they struggle to set boundaries. 

I can relate. 

I had a profound moment one day in a conversation, with a man I was dating at the time, that has changed my attitude about empathy and boundaries. 

You’ll hear all about this truly transformations and frankly, dramatic, moment in my life, in today’s episode.

All of us people pleasers know what it’s like to try to be someone you aren’t.

We want love.

We want approval.

We try desperately to be who our family, spouse, boss, church, or culture wants us to be.

In today’s episode of Liberate Your People Pleaser I’m unpacking this issue.  

Many of my brothers and sisters in the black, indigenous, people of color and LGBTQ+ communities are deeply impacted by this dilemma, where the cost of being authentic can be especially high.

And yet, we are never truly happy unless we are expressing our authentic nature.

This episode begins a theme that I will revisit in future podcasts. The temptation to abandon our authentic self in order to fit in or get the love, approval and acceptance we all crave is something that must end. For everyone.

This is an open invitation for you to be a guest on the podcast. If you are black, indigenous, a person of color and/or LGBTQ+ I would love to hear your story on this journey from trying to be someone you aren’t, to discovering your authentic expression and then being able to share that out in the world.

Are you longing to be seen, heard and valued? Many of us have gotten into personal and/or professional relationships where we are NOT seen, heard and valued for our authentic selves.

Today’s episode will give you specific steps to begin to be seen, heard and valued in your life.

In this episode I mentioned a story I shared in Episode 5, The Color of Freedom. You can listen to that episode here: https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-uv8qk-e9cc70

I share a couple of personal stories about my big leaps. What leaps have you taken?  Were you able to find the possibilities? Or did fear take hold?
