Did you know: I used to be a MAJOR people pleaser for like, the first 30 years of my life? Yup, it's true!

I would make so many decisions based on what others expected of me (or even what I assumed they expected!)

And I remember one day, almost 10 years ago when I first started my health & fitness business, coming face to face with how people pleasing shows up: 

  • I had family tell me that I was wasting my elementary education degree and throwing away my career. 
  • I had friends tell me i was too overweight to run a health & fitness business
  • I had others me that it was a pipe-dream thinking I would succeed with NO experience running any kind of business!

I had decided to start that business for just one reason: to continue stay home with my little kids who were 3 years old and 18 months at the time. 

And when these comments happened, as painful as it was to hear people who supposedly care about me, downplay what I wanted to do; I knew I had to make a choice.

  • Option A) was go back to work, put my kids in day-care, and give up on dreams of being a stay-at-home mom. And eventually live with REGRET. ❌
  • Option B)  was ignore the naysayers, and do what I knew I wanted to do. 

For me, the choice was easy.

And since then, I have gained so much personal power. I make decisions now based on what I want to do, and not what others expect of me. And that feels freakin' AWESOME! ❤

In today's podcast, I talk all about my own story but I also give you my TOP 8 actionable tips you can use RIGHT NOW in your own life to stop people-pleasing!
