It’s Always the Nice Ones: Why People-Pleasing is Making You Sick
Soul Fusion with Penny Chiasson
You’ve probably heard the phrase: “It’s always the nice ones.” And maybe, like me, you once thought that was a compliment. But it’s not. That phrase haunted me during my years in healthcare, whispered between nurses and doctors when patients who “did everything right” still ended up with the worst outcomes. And now, after years of working with high-achieving women as a hypnotist, I understand exactly why that happens. In this episode, I’m getting real about the hidden cost of being the nice one—the self-sacrificer, the peacekeeper, the one who puts everyone else first. I walk...

info_outlineThe Difference Between Intuition and Gut Feelings
Hey there! In this episode, I’m diving deep into the fascinating topic of intuition versus gut feelings. It’s one of those things people often use interchangeably, but they’re not the same—and understanding the difference can change how you navigate your emotions and decision-making.
We started by talking about helping kids understand their emotions, which naturally led to the topic of emotional intelligence. From there, we explored what it means to process emotions properly so they don’t get stuck or resurface unexpectedly. Then, the conversation took a turn into intuition versus gut feelings, and I’m breaking it all down for you in this episode.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
-
How your gut feelings are rooted in your nervous system and often tied to past experiences or emotions.
-
Why your intuition is completely free from fear and comes from your higher self.
-
Real-life examples of how intuition shows up in illogical but powerful ways (like avoiding unexpected trouble).
-
The subtle ways your mind tries to talk you out of following your intuition—and how to recognize it.
I’m also sharing how our subconscious plays a role in gut feelings and how past misperceptions can create “false alarms” in our decision-making.
If this resonates with you and you want to dive deeper into understanding emotions and how they shape your life, I’ve got a powerful resource for you. Head over to https://pennychiasson.com/resources to access Resonance, a masterclass on emotions. This is where I unpack:
-
How to properly satisfy emotions so they’re fully processed.
-
How to recognize if your emotions stem from the past or the present.
-
The common adult behaviors tied to unprocessed emotions.
