The People Pleaser's Obituary

How I Buried My Need for Approval and Found My Voice

Today’s Truth: (in 5 seconds)
Your worth isn’t measured by how agreeable you are.
It’s measured by how real you’re willing to be.

The People Pleaser’s Funeral

She died two years ago last Tuesday.
Worn down from performing, apologizing, disappearing.
She let go of her last f*ck, opened her palm, and laid it to rest.

Her funeral was - interesting.
I buried her with every “yes” she whispered when she meant “no,”
and every dream she gave up to make someone else more comfortable.

You see, for years, I thought being small made me safe.
If they were okay, then I was okay.
If they felt seen, I didn’t need to be.
If they were comfortable, I was doing my job.

I was a human chameleon. A people pleaser in the form of a woman.

And here’s the truth I found out much later:

The people who loved the performance never truly loved me -
They loved what I gave of myself - over and over and over.
They loved how quiet I was.
They loved my submission.

And I was never meant to disappear.

Neither were you.

💥 Something in You Is Ready to Die

The people pleaser in you?
She’s exhausted.
She’s done her job.

And now—it’s time to let her go.

Because the ones who really love you -
They’re not asking for a performance.
They’re asking for your presence.

This is the moment you begin to rise.
Not as the sweet, silent version of you.
But as the one who wields boundaries, is bold, and unapologetically alive.

🎨 Art Moment: Unmasking the Mirror

Create a visual split of your authentic self vs. your people-pleasing mask.

On one side of your paper, paint the mask—
The smiles you faked.
The roles you played.
The shrinking, the silencing, the survival.

On the other side, paint you
Your bold truth.
Your real desires.
The colors, textures, and lines of your unapologetic soul.

Which side feels more alive?

 🔥 3 Ways to Put the People Pleaser to Rest

Practice the pause
Before you say yes—ask: “Am I doing this from love… or fear?”

Start with small no’s
Every tiny boundary is a muscle built. No is a complete sentence.

Celebrate the discomfort
When someone reacts poorly to your truth?
Throw a damn party!
It means the real you finally showed up.

Your true self isn’t for everyone. But she IS for you. And that is more than enough!

60-Second Energy Reset: The Approval Detox


Inspired by Denise Linn’s Soul Coaching

  • Stand tall.

  • Visualize golden cords connecting you to everyone whose approval you chase—your parents, your ex, your church, etc.

  • One by one, cut those cords with golden scissors.

  • As you cut, say:

“I release you from needing to approve of me.
I release myself from needing your approval.”

Let the freedom land in your chest. Feel the weight fall.

🌀 Why it works:
This visualization clears your energetic field of old contracts and entanglements, making space for your true voice to emerge.

💌 P.S. Love Note

Brave sister,

You are not here to be agreeable.
You are here to be true.

The people pleaser kept you safe once—but you’re not in that room anymore.
You don’t need to disappear to survive.

If something stirred in you while reading this, I want to hear it.

Hit reply and tell me what you buried.
Tell me who’s rising.

You are not alone in this rebellion.
You are walking with a woman who sees you.

I love you.
