Do you say yes to keep the peace, apologise when you did nothing wrong or feel your chest tighten at the thought of someone being upset with you?

This episode unpacks people pleasing as a form of self-abandonment, where approval gets picked over truth and belonging gets tied to performance.

Nancy and Natalie share personal stories, name the early moments where self-worth got tangled with being useful and walk through simple boundary scripts you can use today to rebuild self trust.

What you’ll hear:

- Clear signs of people pleasing in daily life

- How childhood conditioning shaped your “be nice at any cost” reflex

- The cost to health, energy, relationships when you abandon your needs

- A 3-part reset: notice the moment, tell the truth, set one clean boundary

Say, “That doesn’t work for me,” or “I need time to think,” or “I’m not available right now.”

No apology, no long explanation, just calm truth.

Nancy: “You don’t owe anyone a version of you that leaves you hollow.”
Natalie: “The most powerful boundary is often the quietest one.”

Do you ever spiral in self-doubt, second-guess your decisions or feel like nothing you achieve is ever enough? That constant pressure often comes from the inner critic, a voice that sounds like you but was shaped by past conditioning and survival patterns.

In this episode Nancy and Natalie share their own stories of perfectionism, people-pleasing and self-criticism and how reparenting helps rebuild self-trust and self-respect.

What you’ll hear

- Nancy’s story of chasing achievement and why “first place” never felt like a win

- A recent moment of choosing values over people-pleasing and how freeing it felt

- Natalie’s journey of carrying painful words about her appearance and how she rebuilt self-respect through loss

- A simple 3-step practice: Whose voice? Which value? What choice?

This isn’t about silencing your inner critic overnight. It’s about learning to pause, notice whose voice you’re carrying and choose a response that aligns with your values.

Nancy: “Saying no without over-explaining is a form of self-trust.”
Natalie: “Once you know your own strength no one can convince you you’re worthless.”

If you’ve ever spiraled after a text, lost sleep replaying a conversation, or been told you’re “too much,” “too sensitive,” or that you “need to learn how to self-regulate,” this episode is for you.

In this conversation on The Reparenting Method, Nancy and Natalie share raw, personal stories of identity loss, grief, and emotional triggers, and unpack why emotional regulation is the life skill we were never taught but always needed. From cultural conditioning to workplace overwhelm, they explore how reparenting helps you move from reaction to resilience, offering practical steps to build inner safety, emotional balance, and self-support.

Together, we unpack:

- Why most of us were taught to survive emotions, not regulate them

- How heartbreak, conflict, and childhood conditioning shaped our reactions

- The difference between spiraling and choosing — and why it matters

- What it looks like to support yourself, even when it feels foreign

- How knowing your core values helps you stay steady when life feels messy

Favourite Quotes:
“Emotional regulation isn’t about handing your safety over to someone else’s opinion. It’s learning to hold yourself without needing to be understood by everyone.”

“When you stop leaking your energy, stop performing your pain for connection, and start holding yourself with clarity, that's emotional regulation. No one claps for it, but it rewires your life.”
