What would become possible if you stopped needing everyone's approval? How much energy are you giving away trying to please others? As founders, we often put other people's expectations before our own needs. We say yes when we mean no. We overgive. We shrink ourselves to make others comfortable. Gradually, we give away our energy, joy and freedom. Here are three practices that have helped me stop people-pleasing and start choosing myself: 1. Notice when you're overgiving. Pay attention to the moments when you say yes out of obligation, not alignment. Your awareness is the first step toward change. 2. Ask yourself: "What do I actually need right now?" Pause before you respond to a request. Check in with yourself first. Your needs matter just as much as anyone else's. 3. Practice choosing yourself, even in small ways. Start with one tiny boundary today. Say no to something that doesn't serve you. Over time, small choices compound into a life that actually feels like yours. How do you practice choosing yourself in your founder journey? Let me know in the comments!

So happy to join here to connect. My passion is to work with women - and as a Manifesting Generator I never do just one thing. So here are my two Soul-Businesses: 💥 Corethority® | Leadership Framework | Readings | Human Design for Business With Corethority my big goal is to transform the casual corporate world into something meaningful, authentic, individual growing where everybody can live their highest potential by being who they truly are. I believe in the Beauty in the small and big differences of everybody - and the growth that will come when you live your highest self. Most of employees leave because of bad leadership - I will change that into growing together ❤️‍🔥 💥 Vanessa Stefanie Coaching | Female High Achiever Coach working with HD, Hypnosis, Psychology, Business-Know-How and Inner Alignment My second passion is my work with women. I believe that you can have it all - the business, the family, the loving relationship/marriage and physical, mental, emotional health. I work 1:1 and in small groups to open space for whole life transformation. Set better boundaries and create the life that is meant for you. I’m currently based in Munich & Ibiza. I would say I’m a mix of spiritual hippie, business bitch (in a good way haha), little girl dancing and singing barefoot & loving overgiving people pleaser with boundaries 💖 TBH I always hear I’m quiet funny because I’m so brutal honest with my opinion, but in a smart way. I have strong core values I would fight for and love to co-create. As an Aquarius I’m not here to play small - but to have visions and bring them to live. So let’s grow together 🤍 For the Human Design Girls: I’m a 4/1 MG 💃🏼 https://www.vanessastefanie.coach/ Sending you lots of love ❤️‍🔥
