Feeling stressed, exhausted, and “too nice”? In this episode I unpack how people-pleasing (fawning) is often a central nervous system survival response — not a moral failure — that shows up as anxiety, mental fatigue, and classic burnout signs (emotional and physical). We walk through fight/flight/freeze physiology, how suppressed self-expression and boundary-failure drain your sodium, potassium, and magnesium, and why untreated nervous system dysregulation means your fatigue symptoms never fully resolve.

I bring a faith lens too: we’ll ground this in Scripture (Galatians 1:10) and explain how “pleasing people” can look holy while actually stealing your voice and health. Practical steps include recognition, pausing, saying no, and learning to open honest conversations with your spouse so you stop carrying everyone else’s emotions.

If you’re tired all the time, anxious, or nodding “that’s me” when I describe people-pleasing and burnout, listen in — then book a free Root Cause Clarity Call to map out your next step.
