Episode 5: Peacekeepers Anonymous: People Pleasing, Conflict Avoidance & Losing Yourself
In this vulnerable and thought-provoking episode, Laura and Miranda dig into the messy, exhausting world of people pleasing and conflict avoidance. From childhood survival strategies to grown-up relationship patterns, they explore how family dynamics, trauma responses (hello, fawning), and internalised self-worth issues have shaped the way they show up, or don’t, in moments of tension.
Through honest storytelling and reflection, they unpack the cost of constantly keeping the peace, how resentment builds in silence, and why saying no can be an act of radical self-care. They also explore the way parenting has forced them to reckon with their own boundaries, and how breaking cycles starts with learning to stand up for yourself, even when it feels uncomfortable.
If you've ever apologised too much, avoided hard conversations, or said yes when you meant hell no, this episode is for you.
