Unapologetic: Beyond the Tyranny of People Pleasing

Date: Thu 10th Jul 2025

Time: 11:30 am UK time

Duration: 45 mins

About the event

Are you tired of bending over backwards to please everyone around you? Do you feel like you’re constantly ‘performing’ to make other people comfortable? Are you continually sacrificing your own needs because you’re worried about disappointing or being rejected by those around you?

Welcome to the People Pleasers Club, where membership includes perks like overwhelm, exhaustion, resentment and burnout!

People pleasing behaviours are often rooted in our experiences as a child. The love you received from your parent or parents may have felt conditional; something you had to earn by meeting their expectations, or you may have had a parent who was emotionally unavailable or inconsistent. The message you received loud and clear was that love was unreliable and only available when you behaved a certain way, so you adapted to survive in this environment.

As adults, this pattern of behaviour often keeps us locked in an endless cycle of self-doubt, anxiety, bad relationships and low self-worth.

The good news is that Annalie Howling is here to help! A self-confessed ‘people pleaser in recovery’, Annalie will help us get to the root of our people pleasing behaviours so we can begin to peel back the layers and reconnect with who we really are. You will learn how to set boundaries, say no without guilt and prioritise your own needs.

But most importantly, you will find a supportive community of fellow pleasers, and you will leave with a roadmap for reconnecting with your authentic self.

 

This is an on-demand session available to watch in our community app. You will have immediate access to 20 bonus talks in the app as soon as you purchase a ticket.

When you say yes to others, make sure you aren't saying no to yourself.
