People-Pleasing, Work Stress & Finding Yourself Again | Natalie Nuttall - Wave Work Stress Goodbye | Lyssna här

In this episode of Wave Work Stress Goodbye, Luke Richardson speaks with wellbeing and leadership coach Natalie Nuttall about people-pleasing, work stress, anxiety, high achievement and what happens when we spend so much of our lives looking after everyone else that we lose touch with ourselves.

Natalie works with skilled, caring women who have spent years meeting other people’s needs, carrying responsibility and trying to be the “good girl” — often at a significant emotional cost.

Together, Luke and Natalie explore why conscientious, capable and high-achieving professionals can become trapped in patterns of overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing and workplace stress, even when everything appears to be going well from the outside.

In this conversation, they explore:

• Why people-pleasing can create stress and anxiety at work
• The pressure to be good, helpful, capable and easy to work with
• How constantly meeting other people’s expectations can disconnect us from ourselves
• Why high achievers can struggle with boundaries, autonomy and saying no
• The relationship between work stress, identity and our sense of worth
• Hypervigilance, overthinking and the emotional cost of constantly “editing” ourselves
• How women can begin putting themselves back at the centre of their own lives
• A deeper, more spiritual perspective on wellbeing, resilience and understanding stress from the inside out

This episode is particularly relevant for women in corporate careers, leaders, managers, high achievers and conscientious professionals who feel responsible for everyone around them, struggle to switch off, or find themselves experiencing anxiety and stress despite appearing successful on the outside.

Rather than focusing solely on managing symptoms of workplace stress, Luke and Natalie explore what might happen when we develop a deeper understanding of where our experience is actually coming from — and begin to see ourselves, our thoughts and our working lives differently.
