Recovering people pleasers share their story: When “no” becomes a full sentence

Downlaod your free "Setting energetic boundaries" meditation here: https://myhealingsanctuary.net/energeticboundaries

.

In this deeply insightful episode, we dive into the journey of recovering from people-pleasing, learning to set boundaries, and embracing the power of "no" as a full sentence. Joined by two incredible guests—Sharon from the UK and Hiba, a psychologist and astrologer based in Switzerland—we explore the roots of people-pleasing, the impact of childhood conditioning, and the lifelong process of reclaiming authenticity.

.

This conversation touches on the pivotal moments of awareness, the patterns that show up in relationships, work, and social dynamics, and the healing practices that have helped us step into our power.

.

If you've ever struggled to put your needs first, felt drained from constantly prioritizing others, or sensed a shift in your boundaries as you step into a new chapter of life, this episode is for you.

.

What We Discuss in This Episode:

.

✅ Recognizing people-pleasing patterns – How early childhood conditioning, loss, and family dynamics shape this tendency
.✅ The mother and father wounds – How these core wounds impact self-worth, relationships, and the fear of disappointing others
.✅ Navigating midlife and transformation – The role of perimenopause, Uranus opposition, and Pluto/Neptune transits in awakening deeper self-awareness
.✅ Spirituality & people-pleasing – How spiritual bypassing, toxic positivity, and "love and light" culture can reinforce over-giving
.✅ The difference between being nice and being kind – How true kindness sometimes means setting firm boundaries
.✅ Compassion fatigue & the healer’s journey – Why many therapists, healers, and empaths struggle with overextending themselves
.✅ Saying no without guilt – Learning to sit with discomfort and reprogram the belief that setting boundaries is selfish
.✅ Healing practices & tools – From inner child healing and reparenting to bioresonance, Ho'oponopono, journaling, and working with Mother Earth

.
