36. Autoimmune Disease And The Hidden Costs of People-Pleasing

Episode 36

Friday, February 7, 2025 • Duration 18:42

In this episode, I explore the powerful connection between people-pleasing, self-abandonment, and autoimmune disease. Inspired by Dr. Gabor Maté’s insights, I dive into why 80% of autoimmune conditions occur in women and how the societal conditioning to be "good girls" can take a serious toll on our physical health. I share my personal journey of developing and healing multiple autoimmune conditions—without medication—by addressing the emotional wounds and nervous system dysregulation that kept me stuck. If you’ve ever felt like you’ve lost yourself to meet the expectations of others, this episode will help you understand how returning to your true, authentic self can be the key to healing both emotionally and physically.

What you’ll learn:

The connection between people-pleasing, self-abandonment, and autoimmune disease
Why women are disproportionately affected by autoimmune conditions
How suppressed emotions, especially anger, contribute to chronic illness
Why nervous system regulation is a crucial piece of healing
The role of authenticity in reversing autoimmune symptoms
Small, tangible steps to start reconnecting with your true self and healing your body
