But what if the biggest people pleasers are often the most successful people in the room? This week Kev explores the Successful Pleaser — the builder, provider, parent, entrepreneur, and problem-solver whose achievements may actually be masking a lifelong need to earn love, approval, safety, or worth. We get into how success can become emotional armor and how some people become \"human infrastructure\" — the one everyone depends on. We talk about how many high achievers quietly bounce between shame (\"I should have done more\") and resentment (\"Does anybody see what I've carried?\") and how losing money often hurts less because of the money and more because of the effort, sacrifice, and identity attached to it. And maybe the real fear isn't failure — it's irrelevance. And most importantly, how healing doesn't mean stopping the giving. It means giving from fullness instead of proving. And we’ve got a Sunday Set Up Bonus! A deep discussion on college life and Hulu's the Pizza Movie. This is a perfect Sunday Set-Up for the achievers, overgivers, and workhorses who always carry everyone else — and are finally asking whether they themselves deserve support too. ☕️❤️ HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/host ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and…","meta_description":"Most people think people pleasers are weak.
