I am excited to share my conversation with Hailey Magee. This is a conversation all about communication and setting boundaries and how to stop people pleasing. Big conversation, right? Hailey made it fun and manageable, though!

Hailey has a new book out called Stop People Pleasing and Find Your Power! I think there are so many good takeaways from this conversation to help you strengthen your relationships in all areas of your lives! There are many types of communicators and learning about the type of communicator that you are and what type those people are around you is SO important to have healthy and happy relationships. We also talked about when to set a boundary and when to push past what is comfortable for you. I want to live in a world where we can have boundaries and we can show up fully for everyone.

This was such a great conversation and I’m so grateful for all of the work that Hailey is putting out into the world!

What we talked about:

4:00- Her book launch

5:00- How she has ended up in this space of helping others heal their people pleasing tendencies

7:10- External versus internal validation 

8:15- Being a people pleaser

9:40- Communication types and how we can use that to understand our own relationships

32:10- Deciding when to set boundaries

38:00- Giving yourself the space to change your mind

44:20- Growth in her business

Elise Loehnen is on the podcast today! She is the author of On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good. This book weaves together history, memoir, and cultural criticism to explore the ways patriarchy lands in the bodies of women and embeds itself in our consciousness. Elise also hosts the podcast Pulling the Thread. If you are into spirituality at all and are interested in hearing from spiritual elders and wise thinkers those are some really great conversations over there! Elise has co-written/ghost written 12 other books.

In this conversation, we focus on raising emotionally healthy boys. This is hard to do because it’s a cultural thing not just something that happens inside our own homes! We talk about envy, something women tend to struggle with. We talk about how women are givers and why that is. I have a lot of spiritual questions (of course!) I love that this is one of the things that she focuses on in her work and it was so fun to pick her brain!

This is a wide-ranging conversation and I had SO much fun chatting with Elise!

Sarah Edmondson is on the podcast today! And wow, she has a story! She is a former member of NXIVM. She ended up leaving the group and came forward about things that were happening behind the scenes there. Sarah’s full story as a whistleblower is featured in the CBC podcast “Uncover: Escaping NXIVM” (downloaded over 25 million times) and “The Vow”, the critically acclaimed HBO documentary series on NXIVM.

In 2019, Sarah published Scarred: The True Story of How I Escaped NXIVM, the Cult that Bound My Life, with Kristine Gasbarre. In this tell-all memoir, she shares her story from the moment she takes her first seminar to her harrowing fight to get out of NXIVM, collaborate with the FBI, help others, and heal.

She has a podcast called “A Little Bit Culty” where she helps people understand, heal from, and avoid abusive situations, one little red flag at a time.

Sarah is also the mom of two and we talk in this conversation a bit about how she parents with this knowledge that she has and protecting your kids from people with bad intentions.

I loved this conversation and I hope that you do too!

If this is something that you are walking through, Michelle has so many great resources to lean on.
