For years, I was the 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗿. The chameleon 🦎 The “yes girl” who smiled, nodded, helped, fixed and wanted to be "liked"… Even when I was crumbling inside 🫠

I thought being liked meant being loved. I thought if I just kept everyone else happy, maybe I’d feel whole.

But truthfully?
I was exhausted. Misunderstood. Miserable.

Learning to set boundaries changed everything. I didn’t become cold, distant, or selfish;I became real. And being real helped me finally attract the right people, the ones who love me for who I actually am, not who I pretended to be 🥰

That’s why I created this workshop:
✨ “People Pleaser” Recovery ✨
🗓 Wednesday 30th July, 7:00PM
📍 Angels & Acorns, Stalybridge
💟 Facilitated by Empowered To Thrive

💫 A warm, honest, supportive space to:
• Reclaim your energy
• Break the guilt cycle
• Set boundaries with love
• Learn how to stop abandoning yourself to keep others comfortable

💬 We’ll share stories, move through powerful activities, get creative, and most importantly, come back home to ourselves.

🧡 You deserve to take up space. You deserve to stop shrinking. You deserve to feel free, full, and f*cking aligned.

There are only a few spaces left, if you’re reading this and thinking “this is me”... I promise, you’re not alone.

📩 Grab a ticket now or message me with any questions 💛
