Did you know most people-pleasing patterns are formed before the age of eight? In this episode, we unpack how those early beliefs shape the way women work, love, show up, and silently burn out.

You’ll hear how migraines, anxiety, and exhaustion can be the body’s way of forcing rest, why high-achieving women struggle with boundaries, and how Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) help rewire lifelong habits of self-abandonment.

Polly Angel is an RTT practitioner and somatic trauma-informed coach who helps women break patterns of people-pleasing, perfectionism and emotional suppression. After years of battling migraines and burnout herself, she now teaches practical tools to reconnect with your authentic voice.
