"I'm glad I was teased at school" - People Pleasing, Self-Worth & Living for You When Everyone Else's Life is on Display

Marty and I sat down on a Monday night, post-CrossFit, and ended up in one of our deep conversations (and you get to be part of it too). We talk about people pleasing, social comparison and what it actually takes to stop living for other people's opinions. Marty shares how being teased in early high school quietly became one of the most formative lessons of his life. I open up about the flip side, a very different experience that set me up for years of people pleasing and tying my self-worth to how others saw me. Two completely opposite paths, somehow landing in the same place. We also get into why social media pulls you away from your own desires, how wedding planning became an unexpected mirror for spotting what you actually want versus what you think you should and a question that reframes everything: if no one could ever see it, would you still do it?
