I Made Something For The People Who Can't Say No
Download The People Pleaser Recovery Guide Free
You know who you are.
You say yes when your body screams no. You apologize for things that aren't your fault. You give until you have nothing left, then find more to give.
You're exhausted from carrying everyone else's emotions while your own needs disappear.
I see you. Because I was you.
This Isn't Kindness. This Is Survival.
For years, I thought my people pleasing made me a good person. What I didn't understand was that it was actually a trauma response. A nervous system stuck in fawn mode, convinced that other people's needs were literally life or death. That is all bullshit.
When you grow up learning that your safety depends on keeping adults happy, your brain gets rewired. Other people's emotions become more important than your own.
The problem? That programming doesn't shut off when you become an adult.
What I Learned About Recovery
You can't just start saying no after decades of people pleasing. Your nervous system will fight you every step of the way.
You need progressive training. Scripts for boundary violations. Tools for managing the guilt that comes when you stop abandoning yourself.
Most importantly, you need to understand that disappointing people isn't dangerous. It's necessary.
The Guide I Created
I made The People Pleaser Recovery Guide: How to Stop Bleeding for Everyone Else. It's 15 pages of no-bullshit tools for people who are tired of putting everyone else first.
What's inside:
Why people pleasing is actually a trauma response
The progressive "No Practice Protocol" to retrain your nervous system
Emergency scripts for boundary violations
How to build tolerance for disappointing others
Boundaries that protect your energy
The relationship audit that separates builders from drainers
I'm giving this away for free because I remember what it felt like to be trapped in people pleasing patterns.

Kill The Silence
As a lifelong apologizer, I used to say sorry just for existing. Now I laugh when people apologize to me because I see how unnecessary it is.
Plus, isn’t it wild how the people who should apologize the ones who really hurt you almost never do? For years, I thought people-pleasing made me strong. Helpful. Kind. But it was survival. It started young. I learned to smooth everything over, even before I had a voice of my own.
I gave everyone else love. I forgot to give it to myself. Thank you, Cody, for naming it and giving us tools to finally break the cycle. I wanna be like you when I grow up.
Hustle and HeelCody… you’re leading people out of their unseen cages with this one. That line about being trapped in “nervous system stuck in fawn mode”? Wow, I had to stop and take a breath. You’ve articulated what so many of us have been silently shouldering. This guide isn’t just useful—it’s downright sacred. It’s the kind of thing you stash in your bag like a mini therapist for those moments when you’re trying to reconstruct your self-worth. Thank you for creating something that doesn’t berate us but rather tenderly guides us back to our true selves. I downloaded it. And, oh, I’m sharing it. Because, as you so astutely put it, letting people down isn’t the end of the world. It’s essential.
