The Sin of Being ‘Too Nice’ — How People-Pleasing Is Breaking Your Body and Spirit

In this episode, Cassie explores how the "good girl" syndrome and people-pleasing behaviors are actually trauma responses that harm both your body and spirit. She reveals how fawning—a lesser-known stress response—keeps women trapped in cycles of exhaustion, anxiety, and physical illness. Through personal stories and biblical wisdom, Cassie guides you to recognize these patterns, understand their root causes in your nervous system, and begin setting healthy boundaries. This gentle, grace-filled conversation offers practical steps for Christian women who are ready to stop sacrificing their wellbeing for false peace and start honoring the voice God gave them.
