Ever feel like you're stuck in a cycle of people-pleasing—but you don't know how to stop?

This tender, validating episode explores how chronic people-pleasing might actually be a fawn response—your nervous system’s brilliant attempt to keep you safe through appeasement and over-accommodation.

Inside, Dr. McKenzy gently guides you through:

• What the fawn response is (and how it's different from just being “nice”)
• The sneaky ways it shows up in daily life
• How it may have developed in childhood or long-term stress
• The emotional + physical toll of living in fawn mode
• The first step toward healing—with compassion, not self-blame

This episode is your permission slip to reclaim your needs, your voice, and your self—softly, safely, and sustainably.
