25 FEB 2025 · Welcome back to the Dreamers to Doers Podcast! In this heartfelt episode, host Sarah Birkbeck dives deep into a conversation that’s close to her own people-pleasing heart — learning to live from love rather than for it.
Joined by friends Taylor Angelo, Jeffie Jones, and her mentor Pastor Colleen Rouse, Sarah unpacks the powerful idea of breaking free from performance-driven mindsets and the traps of people-pleasing.
Together, they explore:
- The freedom that comes from living loved, not striving for it
- How shame keeps us trapped in cycles of performance and how truth sets us free
- The importance of stewarding your time, assignments, and responsibilities without falling into striving
- Practical steps to move from fear-driven decisions to love-centered living
- The balance of motherhood, ministry, and calling — and how to embrace grace in every season
Whether you’re a checklist queen, a creative dreamer, or somewhere in between, this conversation is for you. It’s about shifting your mindset, stewarding your life with purpose, and embracing the peace that comes from living fully loved.
