In this episode of 'Masks Off for People Pleasers and Perfectionists,' host Kim Gross discusses the journey from codependency and people-pleasing to achieving freedom and self-sufficiency. She opens up about her own experiences of using food for comfort and relying on others for happiness, and how she realized these were forms of neediness. By sharing excerpts from her book, Kim explores the difference between neediness and desire, emphasizing the empowerment that comes from being able to ask boldly for what we want without feeling entitled to it. The episode highlights the significance of having a solid sense of self, being able to handle disappointment, and the process of self-reparenting to fulfill our own needs. Kim also introduces her five-step power pathway to help listeners move from a mindset of victimhood to one of freedom and liberation. Additionally, she encourages listeners to reach out, take a quiz on her website to identify people-pleasing and perfectionist tendencies, and join her email list for weekly tips and tools to further this journey from prison to paradise.
