You know the drill….


There’s a hard conversation you’ve either been actively avoiding or one that you know you need to have:


—Maybe it’s with your boss about the way your workload has been steadily increasing while your pay has not…..

—Or with your mother-in-law about how she steps in to parent your child when you're right there…

—Or with your partner about how you want to re-distribute the household chore load…


But the fear of disappointing them is paralyzing.


So you spend SO MUCH TIME:



  • Spinning worst-case scenarios - convinced they'll hate you, never speak to you again, or think you're selfish

  • Constantly second-guessing: "Maybe I should just say yes... it's not that big of a deal... I can handle it"

  • Fear that people only like you because you always say yes - and terror about who you'll be if you start disappointing people

  • Trying to find elaborate workarounds to avoid disappointing them (even when it costs you significantly more time, money, or energy)

  • Calculating how much you can sacrifice before you completely burn out


It adds up to HOURS of your life-ruminating and spinning out- and so much energy. 


It’s fucking exhausting and you want it all to just go away…


You can’t people-please your way to peace. But you can learn to tolerate the discomfort of disappointing others-without losing yourself in shame, guilt, or overthinking.
 

In this free workshop

You’ll learn how to say,
“No thanks,” “Not today,” and
“That’s not gonna work for me”

—without breaking into hives,
ruminating for days
or writing a 17-paragraph apology.

I'm Sara Bybee Fisk, Master Certified Coach and Teacher.
People pleasing is the invisible prison that most women don't even realize they're in.
How do I know?

Because I spent decades as the "good girl poster child.”

I was so busy being what everyone else needed that I became a stranger to myself. My entire identity was built on making others comfortable, even when it was killing me inside.

The resentment was eating me alive.
Every time I said yes when I meant no, I disappeared a little more.

But here's what nobody tells you about people pleasing: it's not actually kind.
It's not loving.
It's a trauma response disguised as virtue.

Breaking free wasn't pretty. I had to disappoint a lot of people - my parents, my friends, my religious community, even my husband.

Some relationships didn't survive my transformation. But the ones that did? They became deeper and more authentic than I ever thought possible.

I went from the woman who couldn't d to someone who:

  • Left a high-demand religion (and survived the fallout)
  • Renegotiated 25 years of marriage into true partnership
  • Demanded and received better compensation for my work
  • Ended toxic relationships and created boundaries that actually stick
  • Found my voice on topics that used to make me silent

Most importantly? I fell in love with myself - the real me, not the performance version.
After working with hundreds of women over 8 years, I've cracked the code on how to stop people pleasing without becoming a selfish monster (spoiler alert: that's not actually a thing).
I’ll show you how to turn your people pleasing into personal power.
Because the real you is not too much, too messy, or too selfish—it’s exactly who your life needs and  has been waiting for.
