Lately, I have really been praying about those pesky people-pleasing tendencies. I feel like I have come so far in learning to let go of my own people pleasing and approval junkie ways and in my praying, I came up with a great way to help others that struggle with the same issues. The "always trying to do things that other people want you to do" issues, pushing yourself to do, do, do all these things that really don’t help you or move you forward in your faith, relationships, or business at all. All it does is make you worn out, upset, and leaves you with no time for yourself or room for God. It’s got to stop! That approval junkie inside of us can start to overtake everything that we know about ourselves and it can become a real problem.

That’s why I decided to release a 4-part bible study that is all about people pleasing and how to live a life of freedom. God didn’t give you all these amazing talents and characteristics only to have you spend all your time doing things for others. No! He gave them to you because you personally have a unique perspective and life that needs to be lived.

You need to leave your mark on the world. 

There is nothing that says you need to put your own needs and interests aside in order to help others accomplish theirs.

There is nothing wrong with trying to help others or make them happy. That’s fine. But it's when you are doing it because you feel nobody else can do it as well as you, or you need/want the credit, that you are bound by the chains of fear and people pleasing. Someone else can do all of these things. They are not your sole responsibility.

I say all this out of pure love for you all. Please know that. I know what it’s like to run yourself ragged trying to do all the things. It’s exhausting and it's really no way to live. I want to show you the way to stop putting yourself last. I want to show you that there is absolutely nothing wrong with putting yourself first once in a while and doing what you need to do. Even if that means telling someone “no.”

This new bible study is for anyone who feels terrible when they don’t do what someone else wants. Maybe this is you, or maybe it’s a friend or loved one. If you know someone who is a major people pleaser, tell them about our great new bible study! Because here’s the thing, this behavior of doing things strictly for others can let some pretty unhealthy things in. It will also start to affect your relationships. It's time to take a step back and see why you do these things and how you can overcome them. This new Bible study will help give you the tools to start living a life of FREEDOM from fear and people pleasing.

There will be 4 sections to this study with a TON of content and jam-packed with scripture. There will also be a private Facebook group where we will have in-depth discussions and get our hands dirty TOGETHER. We will all get together and really talk about what we are struggling with and help encourage each other to step forward into freedom.

The live bible study will be starting on Monday, August 6th. If you want to sign up to be notified when registration opens, just head on over and get on the waitlist here: bit.ly/HISpeoplepleasers

I hope to see you there!
