EP. 8 - People Pleasing - And How To Let Go Of It

Are you a people pleaser? I didn't think I was for a long time - and recently realized I was totally wrong. I have some deep people-pleasing rules running through my veins. So deep I didn't even know they were there! People-pleasing is a real thing for so many women - and the consequences are NOT good. It causes burnout and resentment. It quiets your voice from speaking up and challenging things that NEED to be challenged. Most of all, it takes YOU away from YOU. It's hard to bring your full, authentic self to the world when you're more focused on pleasing others than showing up in a way that's true for you.This episode is for you if you've ever felt like you have to be polite, can't disappoint anyone, aren't allowed to say no, can't make anyone mad, have to take care of everyone, are selfish to follow your own desires, or that everyone has to like you.
