Nicole Burgess is a licensed marriage and family therapist and leadership coach to introverted, sensitive, high achieving professional women. She is also the host of Soulfilled Sisterhood podcast and founder of the Self-Care Summit: Improve Your Bottom Line and Your Professional Life.

In this episode, Nicole shares how she started her professional life as an accountant due to her people pleasing tendencies and wanting to make her parents proud. She later discovered she had a gift for listening and people often felt comfortable opening up to her so she went back to school to become a therapist and coach. We discuss the root of perfectionism and people pleasing tendencies and how to get curious enough to understand and unlearn those traits. Tune in for an insightful look with Nicole!
