#120 - Paige's Perspective: People Pleasing

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!This episode from Paige's Perspective discusses the human tendency to care about what others think and the roots of people-pleasing behaviors. Paige reflects on how historically, humans lived in small, interconnected communities where fitting in was essential for survival. This instinct to please others was ingrained as a means to avoid ostracization. However, in the modern world, with access to diverse perspectives and communities, the need to conform to one’s immediate environment is less critical. Paige encourages embracing authenticity and going against the grain, even when it feels uncomfortable or when it goes against societal norms. She emphasizes the importance of finding a community that aligns with one’s true self, rather than trying to fit into a mold that doesn’t resonate personally. Paige also touches on how this mentality can be applied in daily life, such as making healthier lifestyle choices despite societal pressures and raising children to be authentic and independent thinkers. Ultimately, she advocates for letting go of the need to please others and living a life true to one’s values, even if it means standing out or facing criticism.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!Online Program: www.reclaiming-you.comSoberlink Device:www.soberlink.com/wheelsCheck out our blog:https://twfo.com/blogFollow us on TikTok:https://tiktok.com/@twfo_coupleFollow us on Instagram:https://instagram.com/twfo_couple/Follow us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TWFOCoupleFollow us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@twfo_coupleFind Taylor Counseling Group:https://taylorcounselinggroup.com/Donate to Counseling for the Future Foundation:Donate Here
