Who Are You Trying To Be?

All of us people pleasers know what it’s like to try to be someone you aren’t.

We want love.

We want approval.

We try desperately to be who our family, spouse, boss, church, or culture wants us to be.

In today’s episode of Liberate Your People Pleaser I’m unpacking this issue.  

Many of my brothers and sisters in the black, indigenous, people of color and LGBTQ+ communities are deeply impacted by this dilemma, where the cost of being authentic can be especially high.

And yet, we are never truly happy unless we are expressing our authentic nature.

This episode begins a theme that I will revisit in future podcasts. The temptation to abandon our authentic self in order to fit in or get the love, approval and acceptance we all crave is something that must end. For everyone.

This is an open invitation for you to be a guest on the podcast. If you are black, indigenous, a person of color and/or LGBTQ+ I would love to hear your story on this journey from trying to be someone you aren’t, to discovering your authentic expression and then being able to share that out in the world.
