What would your life look like if it stopped revolving around keeping everyone else happy?

And here’s how I define the people pleasing habit:

People pleasing is when you prioritize making others happy, satisfied, or pleased with you—at the expense of staying true to who you are, who God has called you to be, and what He’s called you to do.

This episode talks about many fears that keep us leaning on the people pleasing habit so we feel emotionally safe. We talk about steps to start disrupting the habit and that God has given us a spirit of power, not fear (2 Timothy 1:7).

When we stop being led by the fear of people’s opinions, we’re free to live the abundant life Christ died for us to have.

The response to my December 4th Instagram Reel, was a LOUD NO!!!!! This episode discusses why we wouldn't go back. It also includes looking into the mirror and seeing how we may have contributed to the failed relationship. If we don't reflect and own our role, we are apt to repeat the pattern.

When we chronically abandon ourselves and needs to appease others, resentment is bound to grow. As Christians, our identity and value is given to us by God. We can reduce of our performing and appeasing habits in exchange for acceptance because God has accepted us through Christ. We've learned these coping mechanisms and have practiced them to make us feel safe and approved. But, it isn't honest and doesn't express who we are, who God created us to be and it isn't honest love.

People Pleasing is a coping strategy you learned likely in childhood, to help keep you emotionally or maybe physically safe. Maybe you saw this strategy modeled by a parent or care giver especially if you grew up in a dysfunctional family. As an adult, you don't develop and share the REAL you by hiding behind the protective shield of PLEASING. Replacing People Pleasing with your true self feels like freedom, peace, and self-acceptance. You are who God says you are and that's enough approval.
