E229: Resentment: The Hidden Truth People Pleasers Need to Hear

What if resentment isn’t your enemy — but a signpost?

Many of us carry resentment quietly — that slow burn that shows up as tension in our bodies and heaviness in our hearts. We tell ourselves it’s because of what someone else did or didn’t do. But the truth is, resentment doesn’t begin with them. It begins with us.

In this episode, I explore how resentment is not your enemy, but your teacher — a sacred signal pointing you back to your unmet needs, forgotten boundaries, and the parts of you longing to be honored again. When you learn to listen to resentment instead of judging it, it reveals the exact places where you’ve been abandoning yourself in the name of peace, approval, or belonging.

This isn’t about blame. It’s about freedom — the kind that comes from reclaiming your voice, your choices, and your truth.

What we explore:

• The real root of resentment and why it’s never just about someone else
• How crossing your own boundaries leads to self-abandonment
• Why resentment is actually grief — not anger
• Compassionate practices for transforming resentment into self-honoring
• How to hold your boundaries even when guilt or fear arises

 

When resentment rises, it’s an invitation to pause, listen, and return to what’s true for you. You don’t need anyone else to change. You only need to stop betraying yourself. The freedom you’ve been seeking isn’t out there — it’s waiting within you.
