In this episode I sat down with certified life coach and founder of Live Joy Your Way, Kamini Wood, for a powerful conversation about breaking free from the patterns of people pleasing and perfectionism.
Kamini works with high-achievers—doctors, lawyers, and professionals who appear successful on the outside but feel disconnected on the inside. Together, we explore how these old patterns of over-doing, over-giving, and over-performing often begin as coping strategies for belonging and safety… but eventually become cages that keep us from our authentic selves.
We talk about:
*Why high-achievers often fall into people-pleasing and perfectionism
*The deeper emotional roots behind “performing” for approval
*What it really means to heal your relationship with yourself
*The role of self-compassion and self-trust in breaking free
*How to redefine success and live from authenticity instead of achievement
Kamini’s grounded wisdom reminds us that true confidence and freedom aren’t found in doing more—they’re found in remembering who we are beneath the performance.
