    Ep. 47- Siren Songs: How to Stop People-Pleasing and Reclaim Your Power

    Ever feel like you’re living by everyone else’s expectations—chasing success by following the “proven paths”—only to end up exhausted, disconnected, and questioning if this is really your life? If so, this episode is for you. In this special workshop replay, I’m sharing my Siren Songs Workshop—a powerful training originally taught live, now released on the podcast because the lessons are still so relevant for recovering people-pleasers, women navigating burnout, and anyone craving more freedom, alignment, and confidence. Inside this workshop, you’ll discover: ✨ What “siren songs” from Greek mythology can teach us about boundaries, self-trust, and emotional projection. ✨ The 5 main influences that quietly shape your free will—and how to reclaim your power from them. ✨ How to spot the “modern-day sirens” in your life (including your own inner critic). ✨ The biggest blocks that stop you from living authentically: fear of failure, fear of rejection, lack of boundaries, and limiting beliefs. ✨ A simple yet profound exercise to reframe limiting beliefs and step into a life built on your own values. This is about more than just setting boundaries—it’s about breaking free from the guilt, the “shoulds,” and the fear so you can live with joy, resilience, and authentic self-expression. Whether you’re in a season of transition, struggling with people-pleasing patterns, or simply wanting to feel more confident in your choices, this episode will give you tools and insights to help you tune out the noise and finally live by your own inner compass. 🔮 If this workshop resonates with you, make sure to subscribe and follow the podcast—I’ll be sharing more boundary-supporting workshops, teachings, and conversations to help you reclaim your energy and become the most grounded, empowered version of yourself.

    Ep. 46- Behind the Scenes: The Small Habits Shaping Who I Am Beyond Work and Roles

    This week on Boundaries Unleashed, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my own life to share the small, everyday habits and personal passions that are shaping who I am outside of work, family, or titles. We live in a culture obsessed with “what do you do?” — but our worth isn’t measured by résumés or roles. It’s the small rituals, quirky interests, and soulful practices we choose that make us magnetic, joyful, and fully ourselves. In this episode, I’ll share: My current self-care and spiritual habits — from my Aesop skincare ritual to learning piano through YouTube, to diving deeper into tarot and mystical fiction. Why small hobbies and passions matter more than “impressive” job titles at social gatherings. How embracing what lights you up builds confidence, protects your peace, and reconnects you with your purpose. How boundaries are not just about saying “no,” but about saying a big “yes” to the rituals that make you uniquely YOU. 💌 Your Invitation: DM me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/vicki.pittman.coach/  and share the little habits that light you up. Or, if you’re unsure how to reconnect with yourself outside of your roles, book a personal tarot reading with me for clarity and direction. https://www.mytimemama.com/offers/DzW8MbXw/checkout 📌 Mentioned in this episode: Aesop skincare: https://www.aesop.com.au/ A Good Hang Podcast with Amy Poehler: https://www.youtube.com/@Good-Hang-with-Amy-Poehler Arcana Academy by Elise Kova-  https://www.elisekova.com/arcana-academy ⚠️ Disclaimer: These are not sponsored or affiliate mentions.

    Ep. 44-The Hidden Cost of People-Pleasing: Breaking Your Own Boundaries

    Why is it so easy to keep promises to everyone else—but so hard to keep them to yourself? In this episode, I’m digging into the invisible cost of people-pleasing: the quiet ways we break our own boundaries while trying to be “good,” helpful, and available to everyone else. If you’ve ever felt like you’re flaking on your own goals, sabotaging your routines, or struggling to stay consistent with yourself—this one’s for you. I’ll share what’s really going on beneath the surface, and why you’re not lazy or uncommitted—you’re just exhausted from performing perfection. We talk about: The link between people-pleasing and self-abandonment Why it feels easier to disappoint yourself than someone else The emotional exhaustion behind your self-sabotage How a few small mindset shifts can help you rebuild trust with yourself Ready to stop self-abandoning and start showing up for YOU like you do for everyone else?
