Episode 16: Perfectionism & People - Pleasing - The Twin Sisters of Co-Dependency
Do you push yourself to be everything for everyone—while silently running on empty? In this episode of Gut Feelings: Life Unfiltered, Dr. Jen and Dr. Melissa dive into the sneaky ways perfectionism and people-pleasing show up in our lives, often disguised as “being a good friend, partner, or employee.”
We’ll explore:
Why perfectionism and people-pleasing are really two sides of the same coin
How these patterns fuel stress, burnout, and even hormone chaos
Practical tools to start breaking free from the cycle and reclaim your energy, confidence, and joy
If you’ve ever felt like your worth depends on what you do for others, this conversation will hit home—and give you the steps to finally put yourself back on the list.
