68. Tired of Pretending & Perfecting Just to Be Liked? 2 Steps to Stop People Pleasing & Be Yourself

Are you afraid that if people saw the real you, they’d walk away?

If you’ve ever felt like you had to wear a mask just to be accepted, this episode is for you. I spent over 50 years shape-shifting into who I thought others needed me to be—just to avoid rejection. But all that time, I was quietly rejecting myself.

In this episode, I share the two powerful shifts that helped me finally drop the mask, stop people-pleasing, and start living as the real me—without apology. We’ll talk about:

• the high cost of fake acceptance,
• how to reframe rejection, and
• what it really takes to build self-trust and authentic connection.
