What if some of your people-pleasing patterns didn't start in adulthood but on the school oval?
In this episode, I reflect on something many of us experienced but rarely question, the early environments that quietly taught us belonging mattered more than comfort.
The subtle conditioning that teaches us discomfort is the price of belonging.
Why forced participation builds shame, while chosen discomfort builds confidence.
How early environments shape our relationship with visibility.
The survival strategies many capable adults are still running.
Why courage is not always pushing harder, sometimes it is stepping off the track.
If this episode stirred something in you, these are exactly the kinds of conversations we have inside The Done Era. It's a space for people who are done abandoning themselves and ready to choose differently.
