Why Strong Women Still People-Please (And Pay For It)
About this episode
You've tried to eat well, you've tried to be consistent, and yet you keep going off-plan in moments you didn't even see coming. What if it's not lack of willpower? What if it's people-pleasing in disguise?
In this episode, we get into something that most high-achieving women never see in themselves: the quiet ways people-pleasing is sabotaging their weight loss in perimenopause. Not the doormat version. The version that looks like being a good mom, not wanting to rock the boat, and just being who you've always been.
If you've been doing all the "right" things and still feeling stuck, this one might be the missing piece you haven't considered.
