People Pleasing: a person who has an emotional need to please others often at the expense of his or her own needs or desires. I used to be a people pleaser. It wasn't fun. I put everyones needs before mine. I second guessed everything I did to try to make others happy. It wasn't fun. I am going to go over 10 Signs of people pleasing. This isn't meant to make you feel bad if you are one. This is meant to bring awareness, because awareness is the first step!

So if you’re someone looking to worry less, stop second guessing your decisions and start doing more of what makes YOU happy without always searching for the approval of others this might be for you! I’m putting together a pilot program to teach a small handful of people how to do exactly what I did to stop people pleasing and become more confident using my exact process. If you’re interested and would like to be the first notified when this program is made available, click on the link below to be put on the waitlist!

Since then, the rising star has organically accumulated tens of thousands of followers on social media and millions of views and streams of her music online, largely because her songs are authentic, intimate, and relatable.   

Casey’s first single, Beautiful, debuted globally on ExtraTV in April 2019. Her debut album, Skinny, is set for release on April 29, 2022, from Plymouth Rock Recording. Last August, Casey launched a sneak peak of the forthcoming album with the release of ‘In & Out’, a duet with singer-songwriter, Jon McLaughlin, which found its way onto several major playlists. The song was also spotlighted by Apple Music and Amazon Music and featured on Sirius XM ‘The Pulse’. 

Throughout her career Casey has dedicated herself to the causes of anti-bullying, body positivity, and mental health advocacy. Following “Idol,” she founded the You Matter Tour, an interactive, anti-bullying assembly show that she’s performed for 40,000+ students at over one hundred middle and high schools in the US and Europe. The tour has been recognized by the UN Foundation and GLAAD and featured on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

Self-sabotage refers to behaviors or thought patterns that hold you back and prevent you from doing what you want to do. When people self-sabotage, they often engage in self-defeating behaviors like procrastination, perfectionism, negative self-talk, avoidance, or conflict. Often driven by anxiety, fear, and self-doubt, they undermine their efforts to build the life they want. Self-sabotage becomes specifically problematic when the behavior becomes a habit, done so automatically that you don’t even fully realize you’re doing it or that it is leading directly to negative consequences.

In this episode we talk about:
-What Is Self-Sabotage?
-Signs You’re Self-Sabotaging
-Why Do People Self-Sabotage?
-How Self-Sabotaging Behavior Impacts Your Life
-How to Stop Self-Sabotaging

With his limitless patience for the struggle of the couple, Derek Hart helps couples make connection again, a full emotional re-attachment of their relationship. Couples will only heal if the individuals make contact with their hurt places, and then reveal those hurts to each other. For 31 years, Derek has fine-tuned his craft by making contact with his own inner wounds, and turning those wounds into profound, clearly actionable steps couples use to heal. Derek's mission is to prevent the endless hours of the couples argument, and turn that into short, often 10-minute moments in time for a couple to truly understand what no longer works. Through a workshop, a conference lecture, and 36,000 hours of coaching, Derek's heart shines through as he sits inside the couples dilemma with them, until they make sense out of their struggle, and finally nurture each other to have the dream they started with.
