30. Bonus Episode: People Pleasing
Today's episode is by request and I'm speaking about the people pleasing. I am discussing some of what I believe is the root cause of people pleasing behavior, symptoms of people pleasing behavior, Internal Family Systems perspectives as the behavior being a protector, and the long-term impact of people-pleasing, and ways to address the behavior and speak up without allowing fear to stop you.
29. Black Women Woes Part I
Today's episode was birthed from an idea that I had several months ago. So Cha, Lettie, Marcie, and Patricia all said yes to speaking about the power of being a Black woman and some of what we deal with on a regular basis. I wanted to utilize the month of August to talk to feature all of us together. This episode is more than I could have dreamed. They represent healing, love, courage, authenticity, and truth. Listening to the convo made me proud to be in community with them and this wasn't just a podcast recording--- it was Black Woman power being exemplified. Here are just a few of the questions that I asked them:
1. What will you no longer return to?
2. What will you no longer accept from others?
3. How are you honoring your Blackness from the perspective of self-care?
4. How is pleasure incorporated into your lives? What give you pleasure?
5. What have you learned about love?
