As recovering people pleasers, it’s easy to confuse care with control. We try to manage other people’s emotions, keep the peace, and take on the weight of their responses, all while abandoning our own.

In this episode, we explore:

What’s in your control: your beliefs, behaviours, internal landscape

What’s not: other people’s emotions, expectations, and projections

How emotional responsibility gets passed from parent to child (without anyone realising)

The cost of internalising someone else’s unprocessed pain

And how we start breaking the pattern

This is the work of coming home to you.

Of letting go of guilt.

Of choosing peace over people pleasing.
