The Pressure to Please

an antidote to people pleasing, peer pressure, and perfectionism

Monday, September 22, 12PM ET, Zoom

Want a “she tells me everything”  relationship with your teen daughter?

Not just the “what happened at lunch” updates…

But the real stuff, the stuff she feels shame around, or when she's done something she knows you won't like, or the worries she tells no one else 

All while growing into a girl who can stand tall on her own two feet.

That’s the dream, right?

Here’s the truth:

People-pleasing gets in the way.

And if you’ve ever noticed your daughter…

• Struggling to say no (and feeling guilty when she does)
• Going along with the group even when it’s not what she wants
• Apologizing constantly for things that aren’t her fault
• Taking responsibility for other people’s moods
• Spiraling if she thinks someone’s upset with her
• Having no clue what she actually wants, needs, or prefers

…you’re not alone. This isn’t “just her personality.”

It’s actually a nervous system response called fawning , where it feels safer to abandon yourself than risk disconnection.

It shows up as:

✨ Over-giving

✨ Avoiding boundaries

✨ Hoping people will love you if you never rock the boat

And while it makes sense (she’s trying to manage how others feel), the cost is steep:

✨ Her sense of self ✨

Which often appears in my private practice as burnout, anxiety, depression, even physical pain like belly aches and migraines.

What can you do about it?

In this workshop, you’ll learn to help your daughter:

Feel safe sharing things with you, instead of only telling you what she thinks you want to hear.

Break up with the “good girl” conditioning that teaches daughters to say yes when they mean no.

Ditch the people-pleasing patterns that look like politeness on the outside but feel like anxiety on the inside.

Cultivate inner confidence and safety to truly accept and take care of herself (What a superpower!)

Raise girls who don’t shrink themselves to fit in especially in the digital world.

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"
