Inner Work With MaryAnn Walker: Life Coach for Highly Sensitive People & Recovering People-Pleasers
Welcome to Inner Work with MaryAnn Walker
A podcast for Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) and Recovering People Pleasers.
If you’ve ever been told you’re too sensitive, too emotional, or that you just care too much, this podcast is your reminder that your sensitivity isn’t the problem. And your desire to make others happy isn’t the problem either. The real issue is that your nervous system requires a different set of tools for regulation—and those tools can be learned.
If you’ve found yourself Googling “why am I so sensitive,” “how to stop people pleasing,” or “how to set boundaries without guilt,” you’re in the right place.
Here, we explore how to:
- Recover from people-pleasing patterns without guilt or fear
- Set boundaries that feel safe, sustainable, and aligned
- Regulate your nervous system instead of overriding your emotions
- Build balanced, emotionally healthy relationships
- Learn to trust that your sensitivity becomes a strength when your nervous system is supported
Through personal insights, practical tools, and honest conversations, MaryAnn Walker helps you move from chronic overwhelm to grounded confidence—so you can get your needs met without guilt, speak up without over-apologizing, and stop abandoning yourself to keep the peace.
Most people try to fix or suppress their sensitivity.
Here, you’ll learn how to support it.
Welcome—I’m so glad you’re here.
If you’re ready for more customized support, I would love to work with you. You can have a life filled with peace, clarity, and connection—and I can show you how.

9: Parenting: Developing the Prefrontal Cortex
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
All of us want to raise children that are competent and capable. In order to do this we must help them to develop their prefrontal cortex. This can be done by helping to create a safe space for learning, allowing consequences to do the teaching, acting vs reacting as a parent by activating our own prefrontal cortex, and working to create a relationship where we can keep the door open to influence (vs control) with our teen.
