  ***SIGN UP FOR THE PEOPLE PLEASING SUMMIT***Have you ever wondered why you say yes when you mean no or why setting boundaries feels downright terrifying, even with people you love?In this deeply honest and powerful episode, I sit down with Cora Rennie, a craniosacral therapist and recovering people pleaser, to unpack the fawning trauma response and how it shows up in our relationships. Cora opens up about her personal healing journey, including a terrifying stalking experience that led her to confront the patterns that kept her stuck. We explore how people pleasing is more than just a habit... it’s often a deeply wired survival strategy linked to your attachment style.If you’ve ever felt like you lose yourself in relationships or struggle to find your voice, you are absolutely not alone and this conversation will speak directly to your heart.You might want to listen if: You feel like you’re constantly shape-shifting to make others comfortable You intellectually know your patterns but can’t seem to change them You’ve been told you're the “good girl” or “too nice,” and it’s draining you You’ve experienced emotional overwhelm or shutdown when trying to set boundaries You’re craving real connection but don’t feel safe enough to fully show upLearn More About Our Guest!Cora Rennie is a recovering people-pleaser, and identifies as a highly sensitive deep-feeler. Through her training to become a biodynamic craniosacral therapist, Cora gained profound insights into the body's innate wisdom, and learned directly in her own body, the importance of a felt-sense of safety. Cora incorporates the foundations of the cranio modality with her personal gifts and own lifelong healing experiences, to support others in their recovery-of-self processes. Links:www.CranioWithCora.calinkedin.com/in/corarenniefacebook.com/cranio.with.cora/instagram.com/craniowithcora/**VOTE FOR SPEAK HONEST IN THE WOMENS PODCAST AWARDS!** FIND OUT MORE!

And trust me, the emotional insights are just as powerful as the explosions.You might want to listen if:You’ve moved on from your past… but it still weighs on you in quiet momentsYou carry shame around things you did (or didn’t do) that you’ve never fully processedYou relate more to the “antihero” than the polished version of healing everyone else seems to haveYou want to protect the little girl inside you the way no one else didYou crave community but feel like you're too messy to be fully seen**VOTE FOR SPEAK HONEST IN THE WOMENS PODCAST AWARDS!** FIND OUT MORE!

  Ever lay in bed replaying a moment that made you cringe… and suddenly you’re spiraling into shame? In this episode, we’re doing some serious spring cleaning — not of your closet, but of your emotional clutter. I’m walking you through the three key questions that help clear out all those small-but-heavy moments that keep piling up in your nervous system. You’ll hear a story from my own life (yes, it’s peak awkward), and I’ll show you how to meet yourself with curiosity instead of criticism. This isn’t about pretending it didn’t happen… it’s about processing what did, finding your innocence, and finally letting go.You might want to listen if:You replay cringe moments from your week and can’t shake the shameYou tend to spiral after “small” things and don’t know how to stopYou overthink texts, convos, or how you came acrossYou feel stuck carrying emotional weight you can’t quite nameYou’re ready to shift patterns but don’t know where to start**VOTE FOR SPEAK HONEST IN THE WOMENS PODCAST AWARDS!** FIND OUT MORE!
