We didn’t need an excuse to interview our Internet-friend-we’ve-never-actually-met-in-real-life, Caroline Garnet McGraw.
BUT, she did sort of whisper the magic words that made it painstakingly obvious we HAD to talk to her: “I used to be in a cult. And I was good at it.” 👀 Best elevator pitch ever.
Caroline’s first book, You Don’t Owe Anyone: Free Yourself From the Weight of Expectations, is getting published in April, and we got to sit down with her to talk about her journey from INTENSE people-pleaser to free and self-expressed human.
This one goes out to all of you people-pleasers, perfectionists, high achievers and highly sensitives, as well as anyone who struggles to let go of guilt and prioritize your own needs.
We got into…
- How growing up in a religious cult trained Caroline to please everyone but herself.
- The physical and mental symptoms you can expect when you’re suffering under the weight of other people’s expectations.
- Why “not owing anyone” isn’t selfish, and how to rid yourself of guilt for prioritizing your needs and wants.
This was such a deep, necessary conversation — the opposite of surface-level self-help! Share it far and wide, with anyone in your life who needs to hear it.
And leave a comment below after you’ve listened to share what you’ve decided you don’t owe anyone, anymore!
