The Inner Cast
We all carry more than one role — the People-Pleaser, the Overextender, the one who keeps the peace no matter the cost. The Inner Cast is a podcast that gives those roles a voice, sitting down with them one at a time to ask what they're protecting, what they're afraid of, and what it costs to keep playing the part.
Each episode is a real conversation — not a lecture — between Dr. Tanja L. Lee and the role itself, working through practical tools for stepping out of autopilot and into choice. Rooted in drama therapy and psychodrama, it's for anyone who's ready to rewrite the script they've memorized.
To be seen and heard.

What happens when a therapist sits down to speak directly with the "People-Pleaser" inside them? In this episode, we break down exactly how the people-pleaser role shows up in daily life, why it can feel so hard to break out of, and the hidden costs of constantly prioritizing everyone else. Tune in for practical, therapeutic tips on how to recognize these patterns and actionable strategies to safely rewrite the script and reclaim your boundaries.
