Inner Work With MaryAnn Walker: Stop People Pleasing and Start Honoring You! 182: 3 Life-Changing Lessons About Guilt, Boundaries, and Authenticity with Tricia Corso
3 Life-Changing Lessons About Guilt, Boundaries, and Authenticity.
Today I’m joined by licensed clinical social worker and lifestyle coach, Tricia Corso. Tricia shares her powerful journey of leaving behind the “supposed to’s” of life in New York to create a more aligned, authentic life in Colorado.
Together, we explore the themes of guilt, people pleasing, authenticity, and how to quiet the voices of external expectations so you can finally hear your own.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- How guilt often shows up when you start honoring your truth—and why it doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong.
- Why people pleasing is really a form of self-abandonment and how it keeps you small.
- How to step into authenticity, even when it means disrupting others’ expectations.
- The role of unspoken cultural and familial “shoulds” in shaping your choices—and how to break free.
- Practical ways to identify your voice, values, and desires amidst the noise of other people’s opinions.
Challenge for the Week
Notice where guilt or “shoulds” are steering your choices. Ask yourself: Whose voice is this? Is it truly yours—or an inherited belief? Then take one small step this week to honor your own values, even if it feels uncomfortable.
