People Pleasing, Over-Apologising, and Never Feeling Quite Right
Have you ever said sorry when someone stepped on your toe? Or found yourself thanking the same person five times in the supermarket line — just for letting you go ahead? If you’re a deep-feeling, thoughtful woman who’s always on the lookout for how to help, brighten someone’s day, or make things easier for others, you’re not alone. But this constant alertness — this drive to be helpful, kind, grateful, and small — can be exhausting. In this video, I share a story from one of my lovely clients, and reflect on how many women (especially those who are highly sensitive or neurodivergent) grow up feeling like they’re too much and not enough at the same time. You’ll hear: Why you might over-apologise, over-thank, or feel like you have to shrink yourself How this pattern is often linked to low self-worth and people-pleasing Why it's so common in highly sensitive and neurodivergent women How to begin showing up from your centre - with calm, confidence, and a strong sense of your own worth If you’re feeling run down from always putting others first, this might be the beginning of a new chapter for you.
