End the People-Pleasing Cycle: 3 Tips That Actually Work

from Negotiate Anything · host Kwame Christian Esq., M.A.

Are you tired of saying “yes” when you really want to say “no”? In this episode of Negotiate Anything, host Kwame Christian sits down with life coach and hypnotherapist Amy Green Smith to unpack the hidden costs of people-pleasing—and how to finally break free. Together, they explore the surprising ways emotional intelligence, self-advocacy, and societal expectations shape your ability to negotiate—whether in the office, at home, or in everyday life. Amy reveals the evolutionary roots of people-pleasing, when it can actually help you, and when it slowly erodes your self-worth. By the end, you’ll understand exactly how your self-perception impacts your influence, your relationships, and your overall life satisfaction—and what to do about it.
