How do you figure out that next first step? On The Creative Pivot we introduce practical advice on how to discover the work you are meant to do, live a life aligned with your core values, and create plenty of space for creative possibilities. We also invite women just like you who decided that they wanted to change their lives, to forge their own path, and to create a business to support a life they are designing. Hosted by Life & Business Coach Heather Johnston. Heather made her own creative pivot after suffering burnout and realizing that the work she was spending her days doing had moved further and further away from what she really loved.

Recovering People Pleasers - Grow Your Heart Centered Business Series

October 14, 2022 • Heather Johnston, Kristina Brummer • Season 4 • Episode 60

People-pleasing is the strong urge to please others even when they may be putting their own needs at risk. People-pleasers may have the tendency to take on responsibilities that are not asked of them. These actions can lead to higher levels of burnout as both an employee and an entrepreneur.

On this week's episode in the Growing Your Heart Centered Business Special Series, Kristina and Heather discuss their own patterns of people pleasing and ways that you can recognize when you slip into a people-pleasing role.

Referenced in our conversation: TedX University of Toronto talk from Salma Hindy called Why People Pleasing is Hurting You.

In the summer of 2019, Heather took a leap, without a safety net. She was burnt out and left her job of over a decade to take a chance on herself. It was scary, and at 45 she had spent the last decade building her career in technology support and project management. But she was called to create her own coaching business, The Creative Pivot, and has been on a mission to help midlife women see the possibility of what they could build in their own lives and businesses by choosing to take a chance on themselves.
