The Shadow Side Of Greatness

From Fawning To Flourishing: The Pursuit of Authentic Connection And Self-Loyalty

Welcome to Abundance Hack Podcast, the sanctuary for your soul and soundboard for personal growth. I am your host, Niajae, and you're tuning into Episode 223, "From Fawning To Flourishing: The Pursuit of Authentic Connection And Self-Loyalty"

I dive deep into the world of fawning, a trauma response rooted in childhood, defined by a pattern of people-pleasing to maintain safety and avoid conflict. I'll share my own journey of recognizing and overcoming the urge to fawn, and why I've grown to be wary of adults who continue this behavior.

We'll explore how fawning can undermine our emotional intelligence, lead us toward self-abandonment, and trap us in the pursuit of perfectionism. I'll discuss the vital role of setting healthy boundaries and the art of being true to ourselves, beyond society's narrow definition of niceness. It's about cultivating respect, and taking care of our own needs first.

As we navigate the societal pressures of non-stop hustle and the illusion of a perfect life often portrayed on social media, we'll address the importance of self-care, authentic living, and the courage it takes to show up as our full, imperfect selves.

So, let’s get ready to unravel these threads, share our truths, and redefine what it means to be genuinely "nice"—with clear boundaries, honest communication, and an openness to embrace the sometimes messy reality of who we are.

Are you ready to break free from trauma-induced people pleasing andstep into abundance by being authentically you?
Then join me, Niajae, as we unpack the effects of fawning, and the path to true connection and self-worth on episode 223, From Fawning To Flourishing: The Pursuit of Authentic Connection And Self-Loyalty.

The Other Significant Others

The book 'The Other Significant Others' by Rhaina Cohen made me feel so validated. I am grateful for discovering this book because it helps give me language to better articulate my needs and desires.

The Shadow Side Of Greatness

When we think of greatness we think of the success, the glitz and glam, and possibly the fame. We think of the perks of being great, but usually people don’t talk about the shadow side of greatness. In this episode, I share 3 things I had to learn and accept about greatness.
