Are you a people pleaser, or just hate to be the one to disappoint others so you say YES, when you really mean NO?
If yes, then this episode is for you to help you BREAK FREE from people pleasing tendencies with 6 easy steps I share with you that will literally change your life, and save you from constantly feeling exhausted, depleted, and resentful for not taking care of your needs first!
I also shed light as to WHY you people please from both a trauma informed + highly sensitive perspective with a nervous system response called "fawning" to avoid conflict and perceived dangers.
What actually happens when you aren't honest in your relationships is that the other person is never sure what to expect, and the level of distrust grows over time.
In other words, people pleasing doesn't help anyone in the long run!!! It's simply a defense mechanism to make you + others feel "safe" and avoid the discomfort of living an honest + aligned life.
As Alanis Morissette says (I share in this episode), "just because you can, doesn't mean you should!"
