Breaking Free from the Likability Cage

Breaking Free from the Likability Cage is an online healing workshop for women who are tired of putting everyone else first. It is led live by psychotherapist, author, and public speaker Nancy Colier, and it asks a plain question: do you know what everyone in your life needs, but struggle to know what you want and need?

The workshop speaks to a tiredness that sleep does not fix, the kind that builds over years of caring for others, meeting expectations, keeping the peace, and carrying unseen responsibilities. It is about people-pleasing, self-abandonment, and finding your own voice again.

What to Expect

This is a single live session held on Zoom-style video, with the evening running from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Eastern (3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Pacific). It combines teaching, reflection, group discussion, and experiential exercises.

Nancy Colier begins by looking at the beliefs and roles that teach women to be selfless, accommodating, and endlessly available, often at the cost of vitality and authenticity. From there, participants reflect on their own history and the roles they have carried over time. The group then talks through guilt, boundaries, and self-compassion, and works with exercises designed to help you recognize your own voice and preferences.

Practical tools are part of the offering: ways of working with guilt, setting healthier boundaries, and building self-compassion. The workshop is not about becoming someone new. It is about remembering who you were before you learned to leave yourself behind, and recognizing that your needs and your truth matter.
