Do you find yourself smoothing things over, making everyone else happy, even when it costs you your peace of mind? In this video, we dive deep into the Placating, People-Pleasing, and Peacekeeping, and one more; Puffing Up! We will talk about how these survival strategies set you up in your adult Relationships.
We often adopt these roles to feel safe or to avoid conflict, but over time, they can lead to us losing ourselves, setting up unhealthy dynamics in relationships, and being unable to set healthy boundaries.
What we cover in this video:
The Four Deadly P’s: Placating, People-Pleasing, Peacekeeping, (and Puffing Up).
The Hidden Cost: How staying quiet to keep the peace actually creates a "false" Intimacy.
Self-Sabotage: Why these behaviors are often a Trauma response and how they undermine your worth.
Reclaiming Your Voice: Practical steps to start showing up authentically in your relationships.

You might have noticed that I don’t currently have ads on my channel. For a lot of reasons I was not posting much for about 6 months and so YT discontinued my Adsense, which will take time to reinstate. In the meantime, i CAN attach affiliate links for any number of online products and stores. Rather than take time out of my videos, i wanted to share here two stores that I absolutely Love. REI is one where I often get my hiking gear. If you know me at all you know that I am an avid hiker and my happy place is out on a trail somewhere. I have packs and clothes from REI that I have literally had for decades and they never wear out. If you’re in the market for anything hiking, camping, outdoorsy, etc check out the link down below. They’re always having sales. The other thing you may know about me is that I’m passionate about horses. Ariat is my go-to for gear, clothing, boots, literally everything equestrian. Again, I have boots and clothes that I’ve had for years and years and they never wear out. The quality Is always outstanding and I love that they have both Western and English clothing and gear because I ride cross country fences, dressage, trails, and chase cows. Enjoy!
