The Pressure to Please

an antidote to people pleasing, peer pressure, and perfectionism

Monday, September 22, 12PM ET, Zoom

Does your daughter:

• Have a hard time saying no and then feels bad when she does?
• Goes along with the group, even if it's not what she wants
• Constantly says "sorry" even when she didn't do anything wrong
• Feels responsible for other people's feelings
• Gets anxious if someone's upset at her
• Rarely shares what she wants, needs, or prefers

That’s the fawn response, when your nervous system decides it is safer to abandon yourself than risk disconnection. It looks like over-giving, avoiding boundaries with the hope people love you for it.

And it makes total sense because it’s really an attempt to manage how others feel, but it comes at a steep cost:

✨ Her sense of self. ✨

But here’s what you really want to know: what can you do about it?

In this workshop, you’ll learn:

To raise a daughter who feels safe sharing things with you, instead of only telling you what she thinks you want to hear.

The ability to spot people-pleasing at home (even in subtle ways) so you don’t miss what’s really going on.

Confidence in yourself as her parent because sometimes the very first person a girl tries to please is her mom (even if you’re not asking her to). You’ll learn how to step out of that dynamic so she feels safe being herself with you.

Language to use in the moment so you don’t get stuck lecturing or rescuing her, but instead guide her toward her own needs.

Proven tools to strengthen her self-esteem from the inside out so she’s not relying on friends, boys, or social media for her sense of worth.

Let's equip you with the tools to raise a girl who knows her worth, trusts her own voice, and feels safe being herself in every room she walks into.

goodbye to the "good girl"
