In this episode of The Energy Xchange, I’m diving into something almost every highly sensitive person struggles with at some point: people pleasing. If you’ve ever said yes when you wanted to say no, softened your boundaries to keep the peace, or pre-managed someone else’s reactions so you wouldn’t feel uncomfortable, this is for you!

People pleasing isn’t a flaw; it’s actually a survival strategy many of us learned early in life. But in adulthood, and especially in business, it can quietly drain our energy, our confidence, our bank accounts, and our potential.

I’m breaking down what people pleasing really looks like, how it sabotages your growth, where it actually comes from, and how you can interrupt the pattern with small, doable shifts that don’t feel overwhelming or scary.

Main Topics Covered:

• Where people pleasing really comes from
• How people pleasing shows up in everyday life and business
• Personal stories and real-life examples
• The emotional, energetic, and financial costs
• Why we do this — and how to interrupt the pattern
• Reflection questions to help you deepen the work

Who This Episode Is For:

• Sensitive professionals, deep feelers, introverts, empaths, HSPs, INFJs
• Anyone who’s ever been told they’re “too emotional” or “too much”
• People who grew up adapting rather than expressing
• Anyone who wants to feel safer, stronger, more confident, and more self-trusting
• Business owners and employees who want healthier boundaries and relationships

In this episode of The Energy Xchange, I’m diving into a phrase so many of us have heard throughout our lives: “You’re too sensitive.” Maybe you’ve carried that line like a quiet warning, adjusting yourself in every room, trying not to take up too much space, or feeling like your emotions were something you needed to manage for everyone else’s comfort.

I share parts of my own story, but more importantly, I walk you through the patterns that so many sensitive people develop, including shrinking, overthinking, overworking, and reading everyone else long before we ever check in with ourselves. This episode is an invitation to see your sensitivity differently, to understand what it’s been trying to tell you, and to reclaim the parts of you that were labeled “too much.”

Main Topics Covered

• Where the “too sensitive” story usually begins
• How those early patterns show up in adult life
• Reframing sensitivity as a strength, not a flaw
• The cost of suppressing who you are
• A gentle invitation to reclaim yourself

Who This Episode Is For

• Sensitive professionals, deep feelers, introverts, empaths, HSPs, INFJs
• Anyone who has been told they’re “too emotional” or “too much”
• People who learned to adapt instead of express
• Anyone who wants to feel safer, stronger, and more self-trusting
