The Exhaustion of Fitting In

The Exhaustion of Fitting In

In today’s episode of Reiki Body Mind Radio, we’re continuing the Sabotaging Shoulds series from my book Confessions of a People Pleaser with one of the deepest patterns people pleasers carry:

“I should make others feel comfortable. I should fit in.”

But what if fitting in is actually exhausting you?

In this episode, I’m talking about the emotional, physical, and energetic cost of constantly performing a version of yourself that feels acceptable to everyone else. We explore how people pleasing impacts the nervous system, why your body stores the stress of shrinking yourself, and what happens when you finally begin choosing authenticity over approval.
