IC07 — The People-Pleaser

Inner Critic Oracle

The Oracle Transmission

You learned early that love was earned.
That harmony meant safety and approval meant belonging.
But bending to please has left you invisible to yourself.
This card arrives when the exhaustion of pretending outweighs the fear of disappointing others.
Peace doesn’t come from pleasing — it comes from honesty.

Channelled Message

Your Inner Critic thinks being liked keeps you safe.
She’s terrified of rejection, so she edits your truth before you speak.

Tell her:
“I’m allowed to be loved as I am.”

Let the words feel both foreign and true.

Embodiment Practice

Place a hand over your heart.

Say your own name — aloud.

Promise to stop abandoning her for approval.

Journal Prompt

Where do I trade authenticity for acceptance?
