From Pleasing to Powerful

Show Notes: Do you find it hard to say "no"? Is speaking your needs a challenge? Do you feel guilty for even HAVING needs? People-pleasing is a subtle, yet insidious pattern where we learn to sacrifice ourselves for the sake of others, We doubt & question ourselves, suppress our voice and constantly fear that WE are the problem. Our go-to response is to assume fault ("I must be wrong.") The feeling of tolerating other people's s**t becomes our default way of experiencing the world. We also become a beautifully fitting magnet for the opposite of the pleaser - the narcissist. In this episode, Pete talks about fawning VS self-agency, the polarity between People Pleasing & Narcissism - and how to identify if you're caught up in these dynamics in your life. Most importantly, he explores how to shift out of this toxic pattern & finally step into your power!
