Let's Talk People-Pleasing! with Charlotte Bailey Therapies

By: Charlotte Bailey
  • Summary

  • If you find yourself saying yes when you want to say no, consistently do things for others at the expense of your own needs, or find yourself masking who you really are because you feel you're 'too much' or 'not enough', this podcast is for you.

    I'm Charlotte, a former anxious people-pleaser, experienced psychotherapist, speaker and visibility mentor for female business owners who think deeply, care deeply and want to feel safe to be seen.


    We'll explore all things people-pleasing; why you suppress your own needs and wants and true self for the sake of other people's, what the signs are, and the impact it can have on all aspects of your life.


    I'll share personal and professional insights and you'll discover tips and strategies to help you break free from people-pleasing so you can move forward with confidence and finally say 'no' without guilt and anxiety as you embrace your authentic self, unapologetically.

    I’m passionate about normalising therapy and making it more relatable, so expect down-to-earth, no-nonsense conversations—with the occasional bit of humour thrown in (fingers crossed!). My aim is to help you feel empowered to discover who you truly are, and experience the freedom that comes with letting go of the need to constantly please.

  • How to Feel Comfortable Being Photographed: Overcoming Self-Doubt and People-Pleasing | Ep 30
    Apr 22 2025

    I’m joined by Victoria Haydn, a brilliant brand photographer who works with women to capture them in a way that feels truly authentic and empowering.

    I wanted to chat to Victoria because so much of what I cover on the podcast is about stepping into who you really are, letting go of people-pleasing, and embracing your worth—and having photos taken can bring up so many fears and insecurities that reflect limiting beliefs holding you back from living life on your terms.

    Throughout this episode Victoria shares common struggles people-pleasers have when it comes to having their photos taken and tips and tricks she uses to help ease anxiety and self-consciousness.

    I hope you enjoy this episode! If you want to find out more about Victoria you can find her on Instagram & check out her website https://www.victoriahaydn.com/

  • Are You As Kind As You Think? The Truth About People-Pleasing vs Kindness | Ep 29
    Apr 15 2025

    You pride yourself on being kind — but is it really kindness, or something else in disguise?

    In this episode, I’m talking about the subtle but powerful difference between genuine kindness and people-pleasing. Because while kindness comes from empathy and choice, people-pleasing is often driven by fear, guilt, or a need for approval — and over time, it can quietly lead to burnout, resentment, and losing touch with who you really are.

    I’ll walk you through the five types of people-pleasers — from the burnout pleaser to the chameleon — and share practical, down-to-earth strategies to help you tune into why you're saying yes, and what it’s costing you.

    If this hits home and you're ready to get clear on what’s really behind your people-pleasing, head to my website and book in for a 90-minute Unlock Clarity session. Let’s make sense of it together.

  • How to Recognise if You're An Overcomitter People-Pleaser (and how to stop the cycle)
    Apr 8 2025

    If you’re an Overcommitter, you probably find yourself automatically saying “yes”, often without even thinking. You’re seen as the 'dependable one', the 'strong one' always available to help. But you end up juggling far too much — running around, squeezing everything in, and quietly carrying the pressure because you don’t want to let anyone down.

    The difficult part is, even with the best intentions, this pattern can lead you straight into overwhelm. You might feel frazzled, stretched too thin, double-booked, or so burnt out that you end up having to cancel at the last minute — leaving you feeling guilty, frustrated, and stuck in the same cycle again.

    In this episode, I’ll share how to recognise if you're People-Pleaser personality is The Overcommiter and how you can begin to break out of this pattern. I hope this encourages you to consider the powerful shift of including yourself in the equation —thinking not just ‘How can I help you?’, but also ‘What about me too?’ when you’re deciding how much you can realistically commit to.

    p.s. yes, if you listen carefully that is Max snoring in the background!
