If you've ever felt like you have to shrink your needs to support everyone else, this episode is for you. Dr. Reuben Faloughi joins me to explore how people-pleasing shows up in your life—and how unlearning it can open the door to a deeper, more honest relationship with yourself. This conversation is a reminder that your healing matters. Not just for you—but for all of us.
🌱 In this episode, you'll learn:
- About some of the twists and turns of my previous year
- How your people-pleasing may have started as a survival strategy, not a flaw
- Why it's time to reframe the word selfish as something sacred and necessary
- What it looks like to let go of programming that taught you to put yourself last
- How your values can become a powerful GPS for your healing, choices, and leadership
- What might change when you stop learning on others and start learning from within
- Why tending to your inner world can create powerful ripple effects in your relationships, work, and communities
- What it means to come home to yourself—and why that's not just personal, it's political and spiritual too
- How to notice which patterns and beliefs you've outgrown—and what to do with that awareness
- The connection between personal healing and collective liberation
- A powerful reorientation: You are not responsible for your early programming. You are responsible for what you choose now.
- Your reflection question: What's one belief or pattern that you inherited but might be ready to lovingly let go of?
