🎙️ The Imperfect Podcast | Soraya

Overachieving, People-Pleasing & the Courage to Be Yourself

What if your biggest strength… was also your deepest exhaustion?

In this raw and deeply human episode of The I'mperfect Podcast, I sit down with Soraya for a soulful conversation about people-pleasing, overachieving, validation, and the quiet pressure to be perfect in a world that rewards performance more than presence.

Soraya opens up about wearing masks, chasing approval, succeeding at work while feeling disconnected inside, and the long journey of unlearning what society taught her about worth, success, relationships, and even femininity. We talk about overwhelm, anger, surrender, failure, growth, and the courage it takes to live more authentically.

This episode is not about fixing yourself.
It’s about remembering who you were before you started trying to be everything for everyone.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

• People-pleasing and the need for validation
• Overachieving, burnout, and performance pressure
• Why perfection is a trap we learn early in life
• Failure as a powerful teacher for growth
• Letting go of control and surrendering to life
• Emotions like anger and how to transform them into power
• Identity, authenticity, and unlearning conditioning
• A deeply personal conversation about sexuality, feminine energy, and liberation

This is an honest, unfiltered conversation for anyone who feels overwhelmed, tired of proving themselves, or quietly longing for more truth, freedom, and softness in their life.
