Are you constantly shifting to match the people around you? Saying yes when you want to say no? Swallowing your feelings to keep the peace?
In this episode of Luma & Bloom, we’re unpacking all things trauma, the subtle, exhausting survival strategy of people-pleasing, masking, and self-abandonment.

Shannon Vanderlinde shares raw and honest stories about living life on autopilot, performing for acceptance, and the emotional cost of becoming whoever other people needed her to be. From childhood conditioning to the fear of rejection, we explore how people-pleasing often begins as a trauma response and morphs into much more.
