In this episode, I coach Shonni through the pain of difficult family relationships and the deep emotions that come with them—grief, sadness, overwhelm, and fear. Together we uncover how her anxiety, thought patterns, and people-pleasing tendencies are shaping the way she relates to her adult daughter. You’ll hear how we begin to shift her perspective toward finding confidence, bringing the love, and embodying a healthier way to connect. The People Pleasing Cure starts October 18, 2025.

Being seen is a powerful human need that grounds us, heals us, and reminds us we matter.

Sometimes even the best mindset tools don’t work because deeper processes take over — like trauma responses, old neural pathways, grief, or stress hormones flooding the system. When the amygdala hijacks the brain, rational thinking temporarily goes offline, making regulation harder in the moment. This is a normal human experience, and giving yourself grace creates the space needed for your nervous system to reset and your tools to work again.
