Imagine if you could follow your ambition without drowning in it – how much more fulfilling life would be? That’s what Pause Purpose Play is all about – finding balance over burnout by setting you free from needing to be perfect, so that you can take action and get started with what matters to you, instead of getting stuck in procrastination and holding yourself back with self-limiting beliefs your inner critic tells you. In this podcast, Michaela Thomas, Clinical Psychologist, Couples Therapist and founder of The Thomas Connection, shares bite-sized learning around psychology of performance, habits, self-confidence, stress, anxiety, perfectionism, parenthood and couples relationships. The podcast will mix solo episodes with guest interviews; diving deep into their professional zone of genius and learning about how they have found pause, purpose and play in their life and in their work. My new book, The Lasting Connection, is available now from all good bookshops.

Are you a people pleaser?
Maybe you have heard that term, floating around on social media or maybe someone has said that you are a people pleaser?
This episode is for you if you ARE a people pleaser, or if you LIVE with one.
Being a people pleaser can make you a martyr – looking after other people’s needs and sacrificing your own.
When you silence yourself, not expressing what you really think and feel about things, it damages your relationship, in more ways than one.
You don’t make your partner ‘happy’ if you always do what they want, as an attempt to please them.
Why? Your partner won’t love it, because they end up with an angry, resentful partner with a low sense of worth.
Because they don’t get to fully KNOW YOU – your wishes, urges, fantasies, dreams, wants, and needs.
A healthy relationship is one balancing the needs of both partners.
Tune into this short bite-sized solo episode on any podcast platform.
