Stop People-Pleasing and Start Parenting with Confidence (Encore)
Episode 179
Wednesday, 28 January, 2026
In this encore episode, I'm talking about something that shows up for so many of us as moms and co-parents: people-pleasing. I share my own experience as a recovering people-pleaser and explain how this pattern often develops as a way to feel safe, loved, or accepted — especially in childhood. While people-pleasing can come from good intentions, it can quietly undermine our confidence, drain our energy, and pull us away from who we really want to be as a parent. I also explore how the pressure to be a "good mom" or a "good co-parent" often fuels people-pleasing and sets us up for unrealistic expectations and resentment. Instead of chasing external approval, I invite you to define what being a good mom and co-parent truly means to you — based on your values, integrity, and the example you want to model for your children. This episode is about compassion, awareness, and reclaiming responsibility for what is actually yours: how you think, feel, and act. When we stop trying to manage other people's emotions and opinions, we create more calm, clarity, and confidence for ourselves — and for our kids. In this episode, you'll learn: People-pleasing is learned, not who you are You are not responsible for other people's emotions Defining your own values builds confidence and resilience If this resonates with you and you're ready for support to help you break free from people-pleasing, I'd love to help. Reach out and let's take the next step together. https://calendly.com/coachwithmikki/co-parent-breakthrough-call Subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with anyone who might need a fresh perspective on co-parenting!
