I explore why people pleasing isn’t just a personality quirk, but often an anxiety pattern rooted in the body. We look at how posture, facial expressions, and attentional habits keep us stuck in trying to make others happy at our own expense.
I share practical embodied practices for breaking the cycle - from mindfulness check-ins to centering, from small “micro-poses” to larger embodied experiments. We talk about boundaries, authority, self-care, and how to take up space in a way that feels authentic rather than forced.
If you’ve ever struggled with saying no, apologising too much, or putting everyone else’s needs first, this episode gives you grounded tools to change the habit where it lives - in the body.
