From People Pleasing to Self-Trust

From People Pleasing to Self-Trust

What if the very habits you thought were protecting your relationships—like avoiding conflict or putting others first—were the ones keeping you stuck? In this insightful and empowering episode of Happiness On Tap, psychotherapist and codependency expert Michelle Farris joins Leann Herron to unpack the hidden costs of people-pleasing and the life-changing journey toward self-trust.

Michelle shares her compassionate wisdom and practical tools for breaking free from codependent patterns that erode self-worth and blur personal boundaries.

Together, they explore:

• What codependency really means—and why it's more common than you think

• Surprising signs of codependent behavior you might not recognize

• People-pleasing as a survival strategy—how it starts and why it sticks

• The role of self-trust in healing from codependency and how to begin reclaiming it

• Boundaries vs. walls—and how to create space for connection, not control

• How healing impacts every relationship, from romantic partners to coworkers

• Michelle’s courses and resources for ongoing support and growth

• The one message Michelle hopes every woman takes to heart when she realizes she’s lost herself in a relationship

Whether you're just beginning to notice patterns of self-abandonment or deep into your healing journey, this conversation offers clarity, hope, and direction. Tune in and start building relationships that honor you.
