A Word From a Recovering People Pleaser

Hi, I’m Lesa Blackham. Owner and Creative Director of Lesa Blackham Coaching …. And a recovering People-Pleaser!

For most of my adult life I felt like I was operating in survival mode …

❌ Always SO Busy – life was all go, go, go as I ran from one commitment to the next.

❌ Feel guilty for never having enough time for me, my family or doing what I loved

❌Often compromising my values, principles and morals for someone’s else’s priorities

❌Feeling resentful because I’d say YES out of obligation, even when I knew something wasn’t right for me

❌Overwhelmed, stressed and anxious trying to meet all the expectations of others

❌Feeling responsible for upsetting or disappointed other people

❌Hiding my true feelings to protect others

❌Avoid conflict to ensure others didn’t feel uncomfortable

❌Preoccupied with what other people thought and worrying about whether they liked me or what I was doing

I was a neurotic, crazy, busy working mum …

Raising two small kids, working part-time, volunteering in the community and juggling being a wife, daughter, sister, and friend too.

I was giving all of myself to everyone else and it felt like everyone’s happiness came before my own and the priorities of others were more important than mine.

I was utterly exhausted! I wasn’t sleeping well at night and I felt like I would never catch up on the rest that I needed.

I was constantly stressing about the things I still had to finish and … how to get a head start for the next day.

This constant state of exhaustion was impacting my health, relationships and my self-image.

My mind was in a state of chaos, agonising about every little detail of my crazy busy life.

I was trying to be and do everything for everyone.

Then I crashed … quiet literally … sprawled out on the bathroom floor, not knowing how I had gotten there and balling my eyes out uncontrollably.

I was burnt out!

That was when I realised something had to change.

I couldn’t keep living like this.

There had to be a better way.

Fast forward to today … Life isn’t always perfect, there’s obviously things that still come up, that I need to work on, but hey, that’s called living.

That being said so many things HAVE changed in such a short amount of time.

I now live a life I love with the freedom to be myself, having a business and the experiences of my dreams.

A life that just becomes more and more amazing with each and every day.

And I want YOU to have that too!

Which is why I became a FemEmPowerment Coach …

For Millenia women have been raised to be ‘good girls’, (aka people pleasers) to do as they are told and to put the needs of others ahead of their own. We are taught this with the best of intentions so that we grow up to be kind and compliant members of society.

Well now it’s time to stop appeasing others and take back our personal power, shout it from the roof tops and reclaim what is rightfully ours. Our integrity, our authenticity, our uniqueness and our true feminine essence.

The women I work with are “good girls” and they are tired of living under the weight of expectation and are ready to rise up and break the chains of oppression, reclaim their divine right to not just exist, but to thrive in a world where a woman’s place is wherever the f@#k, she wants it to be.

As FemEmPowerment Coach, NLP Practitioner, yoga & meditation instructor I have witnessed many women experiencing people pleasing tendencies which if left unresolved can have an on-going and debilitating impact on their mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.

My intention is to share the lesson’s I’ve learned along my journey of freeing myself of my own people pleasing tendencies in the hope that it will help you to Awaken, Align and Embody your most authentic version of yourself.

If you are a woman who is ready to free herself from the constrains of people pleasing, embody your most authentic self and UNLEASH your true potential.

And you’ve been …

⚡️trying to be a super woman and taking care of everyone.

⚡️Feeling like there’s not enough time for you to do what you need to do for yourself …

⚡️Feeling guilty for wanting to put yourself first

⚡️Feeling invisible, like no-one cares what you think, want, or need

⚡️Always feeling like you’re disappointing people if you say No …

⚡️Constantly worried about what others are saying & thinking about you

⚡️And just wanting to rest because you’re completely exhausted
