008: The People Pleaser, Inner Critic & Perfectionist with Nicole Burgess

600

In this episode of the Soul Sessions with Jodie Gale, I interview Nicole Burgess about the People Pleaser, the Inner Critic & the Perfectionist.

Nicole is a licensed psychotherapist and leadership coach to introverted, sensitive, purpose-driven professional women. She is also the host of Soulfilled Sisterhood podcast and founder of the Self-Care Summit: Improve Your Bottom Line and Your Personal Life. Over the last fifteen years, she has coached, guided, and collaborated with over a 1,000 women. She helps them break free from perfectionism, demote their inner critic, embrace their fears through action, and grow professionally without sacrificing their personal life. As a result, they are more productive at work, have more meaningful relationships, and no longer sacrifice their well-being for others.

In the People Pleaser, the Inner Critic and the Perfectionist, Nicole talks about:

Her own history with these parts and how she came to be a therapist
What is transpersonal psychology?
The Critic, the Perfectionist, the People Pleaser – what these parts sound like
Where overidentification with these parts stems from
What the real issues are underlying these parts
How women can find freedom from these parts
Objections the listeners might have to letting go of these parts
What women can expect if they were to work with Nicole
