Overcoming people pleasing with Jinger Vuolo

26 min • 11 februari 2025

This week’s episode is extra special because we are celebrating two years of the Christian Parenting Podcast! I can’t believe it! And to make it even more special, my very first guest, Jinger Vuolo, is back with us today. She’s here to talk about the struggles so many of us face in trying to meet others’ expectations.

Here are four key takeaways from this episode:

Trying to please everyone can actually be more about ourselves than truly serving others.
Showing up as your true self, rather than what others expect, is a way to glorify God.
Jinger shares how she is beginning to guide her own children away from people-pleasing tendencies.
We discuss real ways to break free from people-pleasing and the importance of finding a strong mentor.

Jinger Vuolo is an author, speaker, and former reality TV personality known for her book Becoming Free Indeed and her latest release, People Pleaser. She is passionate about helping others find freedom in Christ and live with confidence in who God made them to be.

Thank you all for two incredible years of this podcast! I’m so grateful for you, and I hope this conversation encourages you to seek confidence in Christ rather than in the approval of others.
