Summary
Are you a people pleaser? I'll admit, I've always related to the "people pleasing" part of my nature as a weakness, and something that I had to become "less of" in order to be successful. But today I'm going to share a recent breakthrough that I had around this so called "weakness" that will help YOU own your strengths AND weaknesses in a whole new way, regardless of whether or not you identify as a people pleaser too.
In this episode you will learn:
- How to reframe the things you consider "weaknesses"
- How to become MORE of who you truly are, so you can make the impact you really want to make
- The self check question I use to determine if I'm saying "yes" to please someone else, or if I'm saying "yes" because it's a true "hell yes" for me

| 0:00.0 | Are you a people pleaser? I have to admit, I've always related to the people pleasing part of my |
| 0:07.1 | nature as a weakness and something that I had to become less of in order to be successful. |
| 0:13.7 | But today I'm going to share with you a really recent breakthrough that I had around this |
| 0:17.9 | so-called weakness that will help you own your own strengths and your |
| 0:22.8 | weaknesses in a whole new way, regardless of whether or not you identify yourself as a people |
| 0:27.7 | pleaser too. Welcome to Powerhouse Women, the podcast for women who know they are ready |
| 0:34.5 | for more. I'm Lindsay Schwartz, your host and the founder of Powerhouse Women, |
| 0:40.0 | and together we'll unlock the confidence and clarity you are looking for |
| 0:44.6 | to help you get out of your own way and into action around your next big idea. Welcome back to the podcast. I am so grateful that you're spending a little time with us |
| 1:04.4 | today and I want to share something that I will be honest, I hesitated in putting out this episode. I've actually had this topic |
| 1:13.5 | on my mind for a while now. And when I looked at why I was hesitating, it's because this is |
| 1:20.9 | something that I have always felt is a weakness of mine. And I don't know about you, but who really |
| 1:27.4 | enjoys talking about their |
| 1:29.1 | weaknesses to the entire world? Well, I know that talking about these things and helping other |
| 1:34.8 | women know that they're not alone and that if you've ever struggled with a people-pleasing tendency, |
| 1:41.2 | that there's actually some strength to it. So I wanted to share a recent |
| 1:44.4 | breakthrough that I had in the last six months around this, I would say, what I used to think of |
| 1:52.0 | as a weakness. And it's actually given me a ton of freedom around being 100% who I am and |
| 1:59.8 | 100% who I am not, which has allowed me just to get out of my own way |
| 2:05.4 | even more. And you know that that is what this entire show is about helping you get out of your |
| 2:10.4 | own way and into action around your big ideas. So when I thought about what I needed more of in order to go to the next level of success |
| 2:21.6 | or to tackle the big goals that I had, I always thought I needed just more confidence. And I hear |
