MaryAnn Walker: Life Coach for Empaths, Highly Sensitive People & People Pleasers
Welcome to Inner Work with MaryAnn Walker—Reclaiming Identity, Boundaries, and Personal Sovereignty. A podcast for recovering people-pleasers rebuilding self-trust and a strong sense of selfThis podcast is for kind, capable people who did everything “right” but still feel stuck, numb, resentful, or disconnected from themselves.If you’re a recovering people-pleaser, former “good girl” or “nice guy,” or someone who learned to prioritize others’ needs at the expense of your own, this podcast is for you. You may struggle with boundaries, self-trust, decision-making, or knowing what you actually want. You may feel burned out from over-giving, over-owning conflict, or walking on eggshells in relationships—while quietly wondering why happiness still feels out of reach.In each episode, MaryAnn guides you through the deeper inner work of reclaiming your identity, strengthening boundaries, and restoring personal sovereignty. This is a space for unlearning self-abandonment, rebuilding trust with yourself, and reconnecting with your inner voice so you can make choices that actually feel like yours.Here we explore topics like people-pleasing patterns, emotional burnout, self-sacrifice, authority wounds, relationship dynamics, emotional numbness, self-worth, and what it really means to live in alignment with yourself. The focus is on self awareness, personal reflection, and self-leadership—not perfection, compliance, or external approval.If you’re tired of outsourcing your life, tired of being told who you should be, and ready to stop shrinking to keep the peace, Inner Work with MaryAnn Walker offers support, clarity, and encouragement as you learn to trust yourself again and create a life rooted in self-respect, reciprocity, and authenticity.Listen now and come and work with me!

7: Consistency & Integrity
Send us a textIntegrity means your actions and your words match up. When you tell yourself you're going to do something, do you follow through? When we take massive action by scheduling and follow through with what we say we are going to do, we can blow our own minds with what we can accomplish!

6: Boundaries vs Manuals
Send us a textAre you setting a boundary line or a battle line? Boundaries are not "You have to do this." That is a demand. Rather, a true boundary is, "If you do that, then I will do this." In this episode we will talk about how empowering true boundaries can be.

5: Manuals
Send us a textWe wouldn't consciously choose to make someone else 100% responsible for our emotional state. But when we are acting through emotional childhood, we are doing exactly that. We are making our happiness 100% conditional upon how someone else chews their food, drives, or cleans. We know we are acting through emotional childhood when we discover we have an invisible manual for how others how they should think, act, and behave in order for us to feel good. Clinging to these manuals/expectations robs us of emotional accountability and creates resentment and power struggles. Releasing these manuals/expectations helps us to open up mental and emotional space that we can then invest into the things we DO want to create vs resisting the things we DON'T want in life.

4: Death By 1,000 Cuts
Send us a textOften times someone says or does something one time. One singular incident. And once it’s over, we choose to replay that event in our head over and over and over again. Maybe we are in the shower trying to think of our comeback line or maybe every time we are talking to our bestie we find we are talking about that same incident over and over. When we do this, we are essentially dying by a thousand self inflicted cuts.

2: You Are Not For Everyone. And That's OK!
Send us a textDid you know not everyone likes chocolate chip cookies? And that's ok! Just like with cookies, if someone doesn't like you, it doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you or with them. You just aren't for them. And that's ok! In this episode we will talk about how the only way to find those that truly resonate with you is to be your awesome authentic self! https://www.facebook.com/MaryAnn.Walker.Life

1: Facts vs Stories
Send us a textToo often we assume that our story or personal opinions ARE the facts! But this isn't necessarily true! Believing our own stories can prevent us from seeing a situation more clearly or lead to unnecessary frustration in life and relationships. Separating out the facts from our stories about the facts can not only help us to look at things in a new way, but help us to intentionally create the life we want to create!www.maryannwalker.lifehttps://www.facebook.com/MaryAnn.Walker.Lifehttps://www.instagram.com/maryann.walker.life/
