How to be yourself: kill the inner nice guy and stop people pleasing

In this video, I tackle a question that came up during a recent coaching session: "How do you actually be yourself?" You’ve probably heard the common advice, "Just be yourself," but what does that really mean, and how can you do it if you've spent most of your life people-pleasing or hiding behind inauthentic behaviors?
I'll explain how people-pleasing often starts in childhood, where we develop defense mechanisms that shield us from anxiety and shame. We'll dive deep into understanding this anxiety-driven tendency and how it stops you from being your true self, causing exhaustion, disconnection, and a constant need for approval.
But it doesn’t have to stay this way! I’ll give you practical steps to tackle anxiety, do the shadow work needed to heal shame, and help you break free from the patterns holding you back. At the end, I share a powerful authenticity exercise that you can download, which will give you some serious breakthroughs.
