What does it really mean to stop people pleasing — without becoming hard, guarded, or disconnected?
In this WonderMama Coffee Chat, Leonne Sherr sits down with Pearl Chiarenza for a deeply honest conversation about people pleasing, self abandonment, and the quiet ways we lose ourselves while trying to keep everyone else comfortable.
Pearl brings a grounded, compassionate perspective to the work of reclaiming your voice, learning to say yes to yourself without guilt, and understanding how people pleasing often begins as a survival strategy — especially for women and parents.
In this conversation, we explore:
• Why people pleasing is not a personality flaw, but a learned pattern
• How self abandonment shows up in parenting, relationships, and leadership
• The emotional cost of always being “the easy one” or “the strong one”
• How to begin setting boundaries without shame or fear
• What it looks like to lead yourself and your family from self trust instead of approval seeking
This Coffee Chat is for parents and leaders who are tired of over functioning, over explaining, and carrying the emotional weight of everyone else — and who are ready to build relationships rooted in honesty, steadiness, and self respect.
If this conversation resonated with you, you don’t have to sit with it alone.
