Parenting Teens Without the Drama… Even if You’re a Recovering Perfectionist (Ep. 116)

The Paradox of People-Pleasing & Conflict in Relationships (Ep. 118)

Here’s a hard truth: people-pleasing feels like a way to keep the peace in your relationships—but in reality, it steals your peace and creates even more conflict. 🫠 That’s the paradox of people-pleasing, and it’s one of the sneakiest ways perfectionism shows up in your relationships. In this episode, Coach Elizabeth Burrows breaks down: 📌 Why people-pleasing isn’t protecting your relationship—it’s sabotaging it. 📌 How saying “yes” to your partner can actually mean saying “no” to yourself. 📌 The connection between authenticity, conflict, and deeper intimacy. 📌 A mindset shift to help you stop fearing conflict and start using it to strengthen your relationship. If you’ve been tired of people-pleasing but nervous about what might happen if you stopped, this episode is your permission slip to let it go.

Parenting Teens Without the Drama… Even if You’re a Recovering Perfectionist (Ep. 116)

The moment I tell people my daughter is 11 and starting middle school, most of them warn me that it’s all downhill from here. And honestly?

I’m sharing the three big things I’m doing right now to make space for connection, trust, and real relationship — instead of control, fear, and drama. If you’ve been bracing yourself for your kid to hit 13 like it’s a hurricane, this conversation might just set you free. We’ll talk about: • Why I don’t see my daughter as an extension of myself • How letting her see me struggle has made us closer • The one thing I remind her of no matter what happens Spoiler: perfectionism never makes parenting easier — but there’s a better way. ⸻ Work with Me Want to drop the perfectionist parenting patterns and build a strong, healthy relationship with your teen or tween?

Stop Fixing Everything: How Letting Imperfection Be Can Set You Free (Ep. 115)

Perfectionists, we need to talk. Not every “imperfection” is a problem. Sometimes life just…isn’t the way you pictured it. And guess what? That doesn’t mean it’s broken. In this episode, I’m breaking down why your brain keeps trying to “fix” things that don’t need fixing, the difference between a real problem and a not-problem, and why sitting in the discomfort of imperfection might actually be the most powerful move you can make. If you’re tired of spinning your wheels chasing some imaginary “perfect,” this one’s for you. 🎯 Book your 1:1 coaching call → http://bit.ly/coachingplease 📩 Connect with me on Instagram: @LifeEditProject
