Nobody Is Born a People Pleaser: The Survival Pattern That Becomes a Prison

Nobody is born apologizing for existing. Nobody enters the world managing other people’s emotions to feel safe.

People pleasing isn’t who you are. It’s a survival response your nervous system learned early, and kept running long after it stopped being necessary.

In this video, I break down:
✦ Where people pleasing actually comes from
✦ Why it feels impossible to “just stop” even when you’re self-aware
✦ How survival strategies from childhood become a prison in adulthood
✦ And what changes when validation becomes internally sourced

This isn’t about surface-level boundaries or positive thinking. It’s about nervous system safety, identity-level change, and embodied self-trust.

✨ I’m Angie Hawkins, the Inner Glow Coach.
I help women go from people pleaser to powerhouse and break free from approval addiction by teaching regulation, self-trust, and identity rewiring — not hustle, not performance, not perfection.

If this video made you feel seen, called out, and relieved at the same time, then that’s your body recognizing truth.

👉 My “People-Pleaser to Powerhouse: Break Free From Approval Addiction” Masterclass is now available!

Each lesson includes actionable steps designed to change habits and behaviors, because awareness alone does not reprogram survival patterns.

You don’t need to earn your right to exist. You’re an adult now. You can make your own rules.

Angie Hawkins is the Inner Glow Coach who transforms women from chasing love and approval to radiating confidence, so they can finally feel happy, free, and loved for who they are.

She works with women who’ve done therapy, read the books, tried the spiritual path, but still feel like something’s missing. Through deep inner work and identity transformation, she helps them break the cycle of not feeling “enough,” so they can experience real love, confidence, and peace without having to change who they are.

She is the author of Running in Slippers, a raw and vulnerable memoir about finding resilience after emotional rock bottom.

Angie has moved from Chicago to Hawaii on her own, jumped out of a helicopter and into the ocean Navy SEAL-style, bungee jumped, skydived, and cliff jumped, yet is still terrified about allowing herself to be seen.
