We are often so busy taking care of everyone else that we forget about the one person who needs us the most: ourselves. 🤍 We tell ourselves: “I don’t have time.” “I have too much to do.” “I’ll rest when everything is finished.” “Everyone else needs me right now.” And sometimes, these are genuine reasons. Life gets busy. Responsibilities pile up. Work, family, children, relationships, and endless to-do lists can leave us feeling as though there is simply no space left for ourselves. But here is something important to remember: your body does not understand your excuses. It responds to how you live, how you cope, and how much pressure you put yourself under. You can ignore your exhaustion, but your body will still feel it. You can suppress your emotions, but they may still find a way to express themselves. You can keep pushing through stress, but your nervous system still needs opportunities to recover. And eventually, the things you have been ignoring may begin to show up in different ways. Perhaps you become more irritable than usual. Perhaps you struggle to sleep, even when you are exhausted. Perhaps you feel constantly overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained. Perhaps you lose patience with the people you love. Perhaps you notice tension in your body, headaches, fatigue, or a sense that you are always running on empty. These experiences can have many causes, and they are not always related to stress. However, ongoing stress without enough recovery can affect both our emotional and physical wellbeing. 🌿 Self-care is not selfish. It is essential. Self-care is not just about booking a spa day, going on holiday, buying yourself something nice, or having a relaxing bath. Although these things can be wonderful, genuine self-care goes much deeper. It is about recognising your needs before you reach breaking point. It is about learning to say no without feeling guilty. It is about setting boundaries, even when other people may not like them. It is about allowing yourself to rest without believing you must earn it first.

Hi everyone, I’m delighted to share that Class 4 of our People-Pleasing Course is finally available on Skool! 🎉 First of all, I want to apologise for the delay. It took me a little longer than I initially expected to prepare and upload this class, and I truly appreciate your patience and understanding. But we’re finally here! 💛 In Class 4, we’re exploring the hidden signs of the people-pleasing and the hidden motivator for those behaviours- which is.... watch the class to find out. 🫣😁 Remember, overcoming people-pleasing isn’t about becoming selfish or caring less about others. It’s about learning that your needs, feelings, and boundaries matter just as much as everyone else’s. And now, I’m curious to hear from you! ✨ How are you getting on with the course so far? - Have you noticed any people-pleasing patterns in your everyday life? - Have you started to understand where these patterns might come from? - Have you tried anything differently since beginning this journey? - What has been the biggest challenge for you so far? Please feel free to share your thoughts, reflections, or experiences in our Skool community. You don’t need to have everything figured out, and there are no right or wrong answers. This is a space for learning, reflection, and growth at your own pace. I would genuinely love to hear how this journey is unfolding for you. Your reflections also help me understand what you need most as we continue working through the course together. Head over to Skool, watch Class 4, and let’s keep going! 🌿 Thank you for being here, for your patience, and for investing in yourself. Remember, every small step towards understanding yourself is a step towards change. Warm wishes, Sylwia Kuchenna

Hi everyone, Class 3 of the Overcoming People-Pleasing Course is now available for you. In this class, we explore trust and control and how they can influence our people-pleasing patterns. Take some time for yourself, listen at your own pace, and reflect on what comes up for you. Enjoy Class 3! 🤍 Warmly, Sylwia 🤍

Hi everyone, Day 2 of the Overcoming People-Pleasing Course is now live! Today, we go deeper into what sits behind people-pleasing — the fears, beliefs and unconscious patterns that can lead us to put others before ourselves. We’ll explore why we feel responsible for other people’s emotions, why disappointing others can feel so uncomfortable, and how self-abandonment can sometimes look like kindness. As you listen, stay curious and notice what feels familiar to you. What is your people-pleasing trying to protect you from? Enjoy Day 2. ❤️ Warmly, Sylwia

Exciting news! 🎉 Just as promised, Day 1 of the Overcoming People-Pleasing Course is NOW AVAILABLE! Your journey starts here. Today, we begin exploring what happens when being “easy” for everyone else slowly means becoming difficult for yourself. This course is about understanding your patterns, reconnecting with yourself, and learning that you don’t have to abandon your own needs, feelings or boundaries to be loved, accepted or enough. ✨ Day 1 is waiting for you now. Log in, take your time, and allow yourself to really reflect. This isn’t about changing who you are — it’s about coming back to who you are underneath the people-pleasing. I’m so excited to take this journey with you. Let’s begin. 🤍 Sylwia
