  • How To Stop People-pleasing: Taking Back Your Worth

    One of the key entanglements that drives the people-pleasing impulse has to do with your worth.

    We are taught a transactional model of worth, meaning we earn it by doing xyz. In people-pleasing, what our worth is dependent on is approval and the avoidance of rejection.

    This creates massive anxiety, hypervigilance, and insecurity in our sense of self.

    Shifting this orientation and taking back your worth is CENTRAL to ending people-pleasing.

    Learn about this shift in today's episode!

  • How To Stop People-pleasing: Are You Making Their Feelings Too Important?

    People-pleasing drives us to over-prioritize and emphasize people's negative feelings towards us and towards other things. This can motivate us to try to fix their feelings, which blinds us to important realities about what is happening, including:

    1) Incompatibilities between you and that person

    2) Boundary violations that you've done or they've done

    3) Ignoring of your intuition and sense of the situation

    4) Knowing what is real and valid for you in a situation

    We end up with damaged senses of self, anxiety, and feeling insecure when we over-prioritize other people's feelings.

    Yet, properly caring for the emotional impact someone has is essential to clarity and to building secure attachment.

    So what is the balance we need to walk here?

  • Are You Blended Up In Them?

    Codependency and people-pleasing require a high level of vigilance and emotional enmeshment with others in order to feel some sense of safety.

    This happens because the nervous system and attachment system discovered that regulating others feels safer than living with the chaos created by the toxic relationship's uncertainty. It found that if it can attune and soothe or please the other, the chaos lessens and they even get some breadcrumbs of affirmation, love, belonging, and comfort at times.

    This is how we become blended up with other people's emotions and take on responsibility for soothing and managing them through pleasing them, avoiding conflict, being "nice", and accommodating their toxic patterns.

    Anxiety, shame, low self-trust, and depression are the result of this, as your needs are not being seen, heard, or valued to any worthwhile degree.

    But there is a way out into freedom, peace, and trust.

    It starts with one of 3 essential transformations the people-pleaser must make.

    The first is Emotional Sovereignty.

    Discover this transformation in today's episode.

  • The 3 perils of doing it yourself healing...

    I have done a lot of DIY healing. Some of it was all I had available to me due to finances. Much of it was due to a deep wound in my identity that said, "be needless. do it yourself" and "when they know you this way, they'll abandon you."

    Being raised to regulate other people's feelings with the promise that they'll take care of me and then being betrayed and abandoned when I was in need created this.

    Many "needless" codependents have this same struggle.

    If this is you, I see you and hold great warmth and understanding.

    And there are 3 things you need to "chew on" if you're in this place and considering bringing on help (mine or others):

    1) DIY cannot show you the blind spots you have. You need an independent set of eyes to help you see what you're unconscious to in your behaviors, beliefs, and patterns.

    You *will* repeat your patterns if the blind spots are not made conscious and shifted.

    You deserve a mentor, a course with community support, or therapist that see you warmly, kindly, and honestly.

    2) DIY will cost you more in time, emotion, health, and money in the long run. It's cost me over 100K along with many sleepless, stressed nights and days.
    You deserve to rest, to have returns on your time, energy, and money that bring more to your life.

    If the money isn't there, I recommend sticking to specific people's youtube, podcast, email, etc that you trust. Do what they recommend. Practice and stay CONSISTENT. Jumping around will interfere more than it will help.

    3) DIY feeds into the narrative that you don't need others. You do. You know you do.

    You deserve community, belonging, and supportive reflection.

    It is time to end the Do-it-Yourself Healing fantasy. We need you. You need us. We heal together. We thrive together.

  • What Purpose Is Driving Your Healing?

    We have motivators that drive what we do.

    The motivators that drive codependency are very, very different from those that drive our well-being.

    In this episode, I discuss these two types of purpose and how to detect and shift them so you're coming from alignment with your power rather than the reactive nature of codependency, resulting in more outcomes you want.

  • When you've gone through trauma, the brain tends to amplify it's negative bias, creating negative anticipation towards uncertain things.

    We find ourselves planning for the worst, as it gives us a sense of power and comfort. It makes sense. The negative thing has happened to us in the past and we want to be prepared.

  • It will be essential, at some point, to admit to and embrace the authority and power you rightly, naturally possess to direct and govern your life.

    You cannot exit codependency without this vital step, as it will keep you tethered to the power of other people's approval, rejection, disappointment, and agreement.

    The anxiety of making your own choice, following your own path, even trusting yourself to choose what's best for you on a daily basis comes from tethering our personal authority and power to the approval and perspectives of others.

    You don't trust yourself because someone else is being put in the position of authority by your mind.

    Let's break this spell and put you back in charge of your adult life with today's episode!

  • The Importance of Gains:

    What is a gain? It is a positive outcome we receive through a choice we make or a choice we do not make.

    An example: I gained my peace of mind by not going back to the dysfunctional person.

    Why does this matter? Gains are the benefits we receive with a positive, healthy change. If we let ourselves recognize and magnify the gain, it helps our body adapt and adjust quickly to the new state of affairs rather than linger in the yearning, seeking, or rumination on the positives of the other situation.

    Gains can be determined by identifying:

    1) What you gained with the choice

    2) What you avoided with the choice


    You can amplify them by:

    1) Adding significance to the gain. "Wow, I really did avoid more pain there. That's really, really important to me and my well-being."

    2) Adding praise to yourself: "Wow, I really did avoid more pain there. I am so proud of myself for doing that for me."

    3) Allowing them to take up more emotional space in your body and experience than you normally would. Allow them to be bigger


    The key to gains working for you is believing their inherent importance and worth and letting yourself FEEL them.

  • Pain vs Your Story

    Transformation of a person's pain-filled life to a joy-filled life is the journey of healing and becoming who you truly be.

    It has three Phases: Survival, Healing, and Creation

    And in each of these, there is a work we do around identity and one's pain.

    In the Survival Phase, the pain and the identity are the same. "I am angry!" "I am shameful!" "I am unworthy!" "I am invisible!"

    This creates the never-ending loop of painful outcomes that drive many of us to seek relief from these things through healing work.

    Learn the gentle process I use and I take my students through to help end this painful pattern and find real peace and healing in today's episode!

  • Burden of Cause

    What is the "burden of cause"?

    It is a term I use to describe believing you cause other people to treat you the way they treated you.
    When we are enmeshed this way, we will internalize people's behaviors as a reflection of some internal flaw or problem that we then must change.

    This leads us to believe that the other person will change, too, creating a potent fantasy that leaves us hurting, helpless, and confused.

    Listen in this episode to learn how to detect if you're taking on this burden and how to shed it completely.

  • De-centering others and centering yourself in your life is *necessary*, not selfish.

    It is about understanding what matters personally to you while setting aside other people's opinions and perspectives of what you should be centering in your life.

    They are not the authority, and they do not live with the outcome like you do.

    You are the authority. You inherent the outcome and consequence of your actions. Thus, you must center yourself if your life is to yield well-being, peace, satisfaction, or whatever else you desire to experience and feel.

    Centering yourself means asking, "does this option take me where I want to go?"

    It means saying no deliberately to things that don't take you towards the purpose you have chosen for yourself, even when it means ending commitments, disappointing people, or doing things others may not understand.

    It means saying yes deliberately to things that do take you towards that purpose, even if it is scary, new, unknown, or you may initially fail.

    Centering yourself in your life is how you start experiencing what you want as something you have.

    FOUNDATION: To exit the survival phase of codependency and enter real healing and creation, you must develop emotional safety, social belonging, and independent self worth. I call these the Three Necessities, and they are what causes your body to start advocating instead of functioning from codependency. You cannot have peace, freedom, healthy relationships with these solidly in place.

  • Knowledge overwhelm is a primary factor in experiencing freeze, procrastination, and loops of stagnation when you're trying to heal from trauma and instability.

    The mind's ravenous appetite for knowledge is driven by a fantasy that "if I'd only known better, I could have done better". There's a deep assumption that we're lacking something specific and when we find that specific thing, we will HEAL!

    What makes this so compelling is that it isn't necessarily wrong. But it is also not useful when you're bombarding yourself with 567869 view points, much less never really internalizing the knowledge into experience (which is where change actually occurs).

    I know this well. I've done in my own healing, as well as with business, marketing, relationships, book writing, computers, IT work...

    This is why I have 224+ books on healing and relationships.

    This is why I spent 10s of thousands on various trainings and memberships.

    Always seeking the "missing piece that makes it all work."

    Is this sounding familiar?

    Learn how to get out of this trap and start actually succeeding in your healing in today's episode!

  • Going Slow - It Is A Must

    To heal, we must sloooooow down.

    To know ourselves, we must sloooooow down.

    To find direction in our lives, we must slooooooow down.

    Codependency, trauma, and the culture of "productivity" demands you speed up.

    You get it done now.

    Faster! Faster! FASTER!

    Healing, thriving, having a sense of self, liking yourself, loving yourself, loving others, feeling satisfaction - these all come from first slooooowing down.

    Slowing down helps us hear our own voice. It helps us step out of the patterns of reaction that re-create the pain we're trying to escape.

    Slowing down helps us build real safety, real connection, and know ourselves better.

    Slowing down helps us hear, helps us respond, and helps us heal.

    Learn how to gently let yourself slow down - just a bit - to accelerate your healing.
