It feels like you can’t ever show up as you because there’s this constant fear that someone might judge or criticize.

In today’s episode, we dive into the real cost of caring too much about others’ opinions and why it’s a universal struggle. Whether it’s hiding parts of yourself, saying “yes” to things you don’t want, or simply feeling drained by constant people-pleasing, we’ll look at why this happens and, more importantly, how to start letting go.

🔹 Spoiler alert: If we’re constantly shaped by outside opinions, we’re not really showing up as ourselves. So, let’s talk about those sneaky “justifications” that keep us in this cycle and how to recognize the triggers that make us feel like we need others’ approval to be okay.

In this honest conversation, I’ll share personal stories (yes, even about my own social media jitters!) and insights from working with clients who feel the same. We’ll explore the surprising freedom in realizing you’re not for everyone—and why that’s actually the best news.

This isn’t about not caring; it’s about understanding why you care and deciding who’s really worth caring about.

Let’s break it down in EP159: Always Worried About What Others Think? Let’s Talk About It.

Excited for you to listen!
