Calling all Parent-Pleasers!
Find Yourself. Free Yourself. Feel Empowered.
A 6-week guided program for women ready to outgrow guilt and grow into themselves.
Still Caught in Old Family Roles?
Rewrite your role. Redefine your relationships.
Does this Sound Like You?
Your fear of disappointing your parents still keeps you from speaking up about your needs around space.
You feel guilty changing things up because of family expectations, financial help, or childcare support they provide.
You’ve done the therapy, read the books… but the guilt is still there.
You catch yourself saying ‘I feel like a teenager again when I’m around my parents’.
Your parents raised you — but now, you’re ready to raise your boundaries.
Can You Relate to This?
You say yes when you want to say no to hang outs.
You feel guilty for setting boundaries around….
You leave family visits drained, frustrated, or resentful.
You’ve built a career, friendships, maybe even a family of your own. And yet, when you’re with your parents, you find yourself slipping into the same roles you had as a child: the “good girl,” the peacekeeper, the caretaker.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to keep living this way.
From “stuck in guilt, pressure, and obligation” → to “confident, free, and grounded in healthy boundaries.”

Learn about the 5 different types of Parent Pleasers
This isn’t about not loving your parents. It’s about outgrowing the patterns that no longer serve you, so you can have the relationship with yourself that you deserve.
Old patterns — especially with parents — can be hard to shift. But the good news is, with new awareness, practical skills, and guidance, it’s completely doable.
This course is here to guide you through the messy, courageous process of untangling old family patterns so you can set healthy boundaries, trust yourself, and step fully into your own life.

Your Instructor
I have walked this same path. People-pleasers often start out as parent-pleasers. As I began working on undoing the patterns of people-pleasing, it led me right back to my original blueprint for relationships - the one with my parents. Reclaiming my sovereign self and learning how to establish healthier relationships has been some of the most profound work I’ve done. I have a passion for helping others along this journey and have worked with many clients in individual and family therapy settings who have deeply transformed their relationships.
