No People Pleasing Zone is where women who’ve spent years disappearing finally walk themselves back into the room.  If you’re done being the emotional shock absorber, the peacekeeper, the one-who-holds-it-all-together; You Belong Here. Hosted by EZ, a somatic guide and liberator of hidden patterns. This podcast dismantles the pleasing & appeasing paradigm with depth, ferocity, humor, and a whole lot of truth. Through story, embodied insight, and deliciously rebellious reframes, EZ helps you return to you. The version of you who no longer negotiates her worth or shrinks to make others comfortable. This isn’t mindset. This isn’t self-help. And this sure as hell isn’t “how to be a better woman.” This is your portal out of survival mode and straight into sovereignty. Each episode pulls back the curtain on the patterns you inherited, the fears that shaped you, and the desires you’re finally ready to claim. Not to fix you, but to remind you what power feels like when it’s lived from love, not fear. Welcome to the No People Pleasing Zone.Bring your whole damn self.

    Hot Flash: Your Desires are Legitimate

    Send us a text Hot Flash: Your Desires are Legitimate This is the first Hot Flash episode.  A sudden, intense sensation to share an idea. A short potent drop.  In this episode, EZ reflects on desire as something organic, seasonal, and legitimate. Something to pay attention to long enough to choose. A brief meditation on attention, timing, and what becomes possible when desire moves out of abstraction and into the body. Let it land.

    When Intent Isn't Enough

    Send us a text In moments of fear and upheaval, intent is often centered as proof of goodness, while impact is dismissed as inconvenient, exaggerated, or misunderstood. In this episode of No People Pleasing Zone, EZ explores the difference between intention and impact through a nervous-system and relational lens.  This episode examines what happens when intent matters more than lived experience. And how power-over becomes normalized when impact is ignored. This is not an episode about bypassing anger or rawness. It’s about noticing the patterns that shape how we relate, personally and collectively. And how autonomy collapses when fear becomes the organizing force. The episode closes by reframing power-with as a stabilizing, embodied alternative, inviting listeners to return to their own bodies as a site of truth, choice, and re-membering. In This Episode, EZ Explores: The difference between intention and impact — and why intent alone is not enoughHow people-pleasing and fawning emerge as nervous-system survival responsesAutonomy vs. protection in relationships, parenting, and communityWhy fear-centered systems prioritize control over trustHow gaslighting at scale destabilizes bodies and communitiesPower-with as an embodied, relational alternative to power-overA Moment to Sit With: Where in your life does intent get centered at the expense of your lived experience?What might shift if your body’s sense of impact  was allowed to matter there?Let it linger. Let it land. Let it percolate.

    Self-Erasure Is Not Love (The Gift Comes First)

    Send us a text What if love was never asking you to disappear? In this threshold episode of No People Pleasing Zone, EZ revisits a childhood story  that reinforced her understanding of sacrifice, belonging, and love. This time she hears it differently. Through the story of Barrington Bunny, EZ explores how devotion rooted in self-knowing is fundamentally different from the kind of self-erasure that often masquerades as goodness. This episode gently disrupts the belief that belonging must be earned through sacrifice, and invites a re-seeing of what love actually requires; and what it never asked of you. This is not an episode about fixing yourself. It’s about shifting lenses. And letting that change how you live, love, and belong. In This Episode, EZ Explores: The difference between self-erasure and devotion rooted in self-knowingHow people-pleasing forms when belonging feels conditionalWhy sacrifice without identity leads to disconnection, not intimacyThe body’s role in signaling when love costs too muchWhat becomes possible when the gift comes firstA Question to Sit With: Where in your life did you learn that belonging required you to disappear? And what might become possible if you let yourself know who you are before you give yourself away? Let it linger. Let it land. Let it percolate.
