Eager to Please Podcast

Episode 60 - Money Matters with Melissa Murphy Pavone

Divorce is one of the most financially devastating and emotionally taxing life experiences one can experience.  Yet most people enter it wildly unprepared, relying on fear, misinformation, or advice from friends who “went through it" before. So the question becomes, is keeping the peace in divorce costing women more that just money?  Joining us in this episode is Melissa Murphy Pavone, CFP® and CDFA® who watched as her mom went through a painful divorce and has made it her life's mission to ensure that others are equipped with the knowledge to make sound financial decisions.   From her 20+ years of experience, she has started her own practice with Mindful Divorce Partners and has written a book called "Divorce by Design" which reframes divorce as a strategic life transition, not a failure — and shows how building the right professional team early can save time, money, and emotional damage. This is an episode worth tuning into!

Episode 59 - Rehumaning with Stephanie Malia Krauss

We talk a lot about how we as adults are "eager to please", but have we stopped to think about how our children are learning these behaviors whether it's from us or the world around them?

Episode 58 - The Unmuted Room with Erin Snow

When we think of therapy, we picture this: a person sitting on a couch talking to a therapist sitting directly across from them; and often times that conversation is "filtered" for fear of being judged, disliked, or even shamed.   Joining us for this episode is Erin Snow, transformative listening strategist, who shares her journey from legal advocacy work to founding the Unmuted Room (formerly Seacoast Listening Lounge), a confidential and judgement-free space designed for individuals to be heard, particularly those who feel they have to be "the strong one" in their lives.  Discover how her work helps her clients feel heard, set boundaries, and find relief outside traditional therapy.

Episode 57 - The Grief No One Talks About with Karen Omand

Grief isn’t just about losing loved ones; it can also stem from losing your identity in the process of people pleasing. Many of us don’t realize the toll it takes until we’re deep in it. If you feel like you’re bending over backwards to meet others’ expectations, you’re not alone. Recognizing this grief is the first step to reclaiming your identity. Joining us to talk about the grief around people pleasing and her upcoming book called "Life Theft" out later in 2026 is Thanatologist and grief expert/educator, Karen Omand.

Episode 56 - Camouflaged with Heather Sweeney

Joining us for this episode is author and debut memoirist, Heather Sweeney.  She shares her experience as the "ideal" military spouse and the struggles she faced as a stay-at-home mom - being adaptable, self-sufficient, undemanding, and perpetually appreciative, which she chronicled in her memoir Camouflage and other notable publications (New York Times and the Washington Post to name a few!). Her husband’s career always took priority, followed closely by her children and the unrelenting expectations of military life. Her own desires, voice, and identity were pushed to the side. Whether you've ever stepped foot on a military base or not, I know you'll see so much of your own “eager to please” patterns in her story. Can't wait for you to listen!
