Forget People Pleasing
If you’ve spent your life overgiving, overfunctioning, or trying to earn love… if you feel unloved, unnoticed, or disconnected from the people you care about… if you’re longing for healthier relationships, authenticity, and a deeper connection with God… this podcast is for you.

Hosted by Rhonda Morales, therapist and emotional skills coach, this show helps you heal the emotional wounds that feed people pleasing — especially those rooted in a dysfunctional or emotionally neglectful childhood. Our podcast will talk about our real-life struggles and strategies, teach emotional and relational skills, offer biblical insight to help you stop people pleasing and finally become the woman God created you to be – without guilt, without fear, and without losing yourself.
