Keeping-the-people-pleased is a trap that has long kept compassionate people quiet, fearful, and unsure.
😵💫 We remain stuck in difficult relationships
😥 We give to the point of exhaustion and burn-out
😮💨 We feel guilty for considering our own needs (so we don’t)
😖 And our nervous system gets weighed down by anxiety or depression
But there’s more. 💔
Keeping-the-people-pleased has had negative impacts that extend far beyond our individual lives.
Because so many of us were trained to not to rock the boat, to keep the peace (by accepting status quo), and to remain compliant (even if we didn't like the way things were), that's impacted our presence in the wider world.
Because there's a lot of us. But broken systems and toxic power structures have counted on us being afraid of our own power.
But no longer.
Compassionate people are waking up.
We are realizing that our compassion is not a weakness.
And we are discovering our power.
But without a clear vision for how to focus our power, it’s all-too-easy to get pulled in a million different directions.
If you’re feeling adrift, struggling with compassionate overwhelm, and/or would like to get clear on your purpose, calling, and mission in this season of your life, I’d love to have you join me for my upcoming live online event:
