The other day, I caught myself doing it again… I was sitting at a restaurant with my father, and while I smiled and asked if he liked the menu, if he was warm enough, if he was comfortable in his chair… I realized something.
I never once asked myself:
“Esther, are you okay?”
“Do you like where you’re sitting?”
“Is this moment feeding your heart too?”
In my 121st solo episode, I’m diving deep into a truth I’ve uncovered: I’m still a people pleaser. Even after all the bold choices I’ve made in my life.
I chose journalism over teaching. I lived in Paris, in the States, and I moved to Zürich when my father said I shouldn’t. And yet… I’ve still put my dreams on hold for others.
Especially the one dream that hasn’t let go of me: To live abroad again. Not just visit. But live. To rediscover who I am when I’m not someone’s caregiver, not someone’s daughter, not someone’s helper… just me.
But then those old voices come in: You can’t go now.
In this episode, I share:
How people pleasing still sneaks into our lives
The dream I nearly buried forever
5 powerful ways to start living authentically today
