In this episode of Beyond Words, we’re diving deep into one of the most exhausting, identity-shaping patterns so many of us carry: people pleasing.

If you've spent your life monitoring everyone’s emotions…
If you jump at the first sign of someone being upset…
If your peace depends on whether everyone around you is okay…

This episode is going to hit home.

Together, we explore:

• Why people pleasers often give the most to those who value them the least
• How childhood conditioning trains you to carry emotions that were never yours
• Why avoidant people make you feel like the villain when you express your needs
• How “fixing” others becomes a form of abandoning yourself
• Why you feel guilty when someone rejects your help
• How to stop shrinking, over-explaining, and trying to earn love through effort

This is not a conversation about becoming hard or cold.
It’s a conversation about returning to yourself... the self you left behind while saving everyone else.

Words That Found Me:
