Healing from People Pleasing with Elizabeth Kipp and Kim Gross

Enjoy this conversation with Kim Gross and Elizabeth Kipp on this episode of ‘Masks Off for People Pleasers and Perfectionists’ where we discuss the ‘mother wound’ and its connection to healing from people-pleasing and perfectionism. As a stress management and historical trauma specialist, best-selling author, and Ancestral Clearing Practitioner, I share the importance of recognizing and embracing a mother wound. I explain that this wound often manifests in issues around self-esteem, attachment, boundaries, and people-pleasing. To heal, I suggest utilizing supportive communities, trauma-informed practices like yoga and meditation, self-regulation, safe relationships, and professional help such as therapists and trauma coaches.
