Did you know that being grateful and being a people pleaser are two different things? It can sometimes feel like they're the same, but being a people pleaser means that you are self-sacrificing for someone else, like your parents, for example. There's no sacrifice in feeling or being grateful. So why does it feel like we can't be good daughters if we're not self-sacrificing?
People pleasing is more prevalent than you think, especially among first-generation Latinas. Our parents sacrificed so much to get us the best opportunities they could, so sometimes it feels selfish to do anything other than what they want. It can also feel like you can never take risks because you don't want to seem ungrateful for everything they've done for you. So how do we break this habit and choose ourselves without hurting our relationships in the process?
In this week's episode, we're sharing a workshop I created for the Understanding People Pleasing Summit with Cora Rennie. People pleasing is a trap, and it will keep you stuck in a self-made cycle of self-sacrifice for way too long. By talking about it, we can identify these habits within ourselves and take the first steps to break out of that cycle. Join me and hundreds of other listeners as we break the people-pleasing cycle and take aligned action now.
