Breaking Free from People-Pleasing

Breaking Free from People-Pleasing


In this powerful episode of the Lupus Speaks
Podcast, I’m sharing something deeply personal from my
therapy journey: how people-pleasing behaviors
can stem from trauma responses and the emotional
toll it takes—especially for those of us living with chronic
illness like lupus.


As Lupus Warriors, we often find ourselves
caught between prioritizing our health and meeting the needs of
others. It’s easy to get lost in the cycle of people-pleasing,
but the cost to our mental and emotional well-being can be steep.
In today’s episode, I’ll break down:


The fawn response and how it shows up in our
daily lives, especially for those with chronic illness.

Why saying "yes" all the time can have serious consequences
for our health and personal growth.

How guilt plays a major role in fueling
people-pleasing behaviors.

The importance of setting boundaries—and why
it's crucial for your health, peace of mind, and overall
well-being.

Practical tips for learning to say "no" without feeling
guilty and taking back control of your time and energy.






This episode is packed with valuable insights to help you
recognize and break free from people-pleasing habits. If you're
ready to take steps toward setting boundaries
and prioritizing your self-care, this episode is for you.
