Putting the Wrong Thing in Place with Lauren

08/18/24 • 39 min

Welcome to the show.

It was clear from the first few minutes I heard Lauren that she was really smart and likeable but dealing with classic peacekeeper people, pleaser mask manifestations.

Getting rid of some of the people pleasing sounds will be the key part of any transformation I do with her.

In today's episode, you're going to learn something fascinating about how she wants to come across the effort that she's making to create that sound and my interpretation of how that is going sideways.

Lauren is putting something in place to get a result and the very thing she is putting in place will actually cost her from getting the result because the sounds are not what she perceives them to be.

The people pleaser mask has many pieces to it. Lauren has several them that she executes in her voice, and while she knows she is a people pleaser, she did not realize how many sounds are being manifested from that voice mask.

Tune in for this interesting and powerful transformation.
