E56 From People-Pleasing to Personal Freedom: Say Yes to Themselves w/ Pearl Chiarenza

Описание: Pearl Chiarenza, founder of in Tampa, Florida, spent years being "the strong one" who carried everything for everyone else. After 12 years of wearing the armor of all her titles (mom, wife, volunteer, coach), she found herself exhausted and disconnected. The devastating loss of her son made one thing painfully clear: existing is not the same as living.
In this raw and honest conversation, Pearl shares her journey from people-pleasing burnout to creating a life coaching practice that helps women release guilt, set boundaries without apology, and move from exhaustion to clarity. Through her SHERO Method (Strong, Happy, Empowered, Radiant, Original), Pearl guides women in Central Florida and beyond to reconnect with themselves and say yes to the life they want to live.
