The Mindset Shift You Need To Overcome Your Struggle With People-Pleasing

Ever feel like your life revolves around keeping everyone else happy—even at the expense of your own peace? Trust me, I’ve been there. People-pleasing can feel good in the moment, but it’s exhausting, overwhelming, and honestly, it’s not what God calls us to do.

 

In this episode, I’m sharing the exact mindset shift that's helping me break free from the pressure to make everyone happy. We’ll talk about:

✨ The surprising way fear fuels your people-pleasing habits
✨ How to shift your focus from approval to obedience
✨ Why Jesus Himself didn’t please everyone—and why that’s good news for you
✨ Practical ways to set boundaries without guilt

 

Here’s the tough truth: You will disappoint people. But you can’t live for their approval and live fully in God’s purpose for you.

 

If you're a recovering people-pleaser like me, this episode is for you, friend. Let's learn how to overcome this struggle together so without hesitation we can pursue God's plan for our lives!
