186: From Smiling Through the Pain to Living Authentically: My Journey Out of People-Pleasing Burnout

Send us a text

Have you ever had a small moment that changed your life trajectory? This week I'm sharing two personal experience with Marissa Campbell from the Art of Heart podcast.

One experience is about learning to release the shame of not always feeling “happy,” and another about is my journey of self-discovery after burnout.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• How to recognize when shame is clouding your emotional truth
• Why it’s possible (and human) to feel this and that—multiple emotions at once
• The subtle ways people pleasing sneaks into “good intentions”
• How shame and toxic positivity can block genuine healing
• What it means to reconnect with your mind, body, and spirit
• How to create a solo retreat to refill your emotional cup and rediscover who you are

Challenge for the Week

Take time this week to check in with yourself. Ask:

• “What am I actually feeling right now?”
• “What do I need—mentally, physically, and emotionally?”
  Then, give yourself permission to honor whatever comes up without judgment. Let it be okay to be both this andthat.
