Manage episode 473256433 series 3608543
In this special episode, Limitless host Fiona Walsh steps into the guest seat on True Power, the podcast hosted by leadership coach and author Cassandra Goodman. Together, they explore Fiona’s personal journey of unravelling lifelong patterns of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-abandonment and what it really took to reconnect with her true authentic self.
Fiona shares the key inner shifts and powerful frameworks that helped her break the “good girl” conditioning, reclaim her voice, and reimagine what success and fulfilment look like in midlife.
Today on Limitless:
- From fitting in to true belonging: How shape-shifting for approval leads to burnout
