This week, Donnie and Stephanie discuss the characteristics, causes, and implications of people-pleasing, a behavior often linked with anxiety and low self-esteem.
The conversation covers the 14 signs of being a people-pleaser, and potential causes like trauma, co-occurring personality disorders, fear of conflict, and low self-esteem.
The hosts emphasize the importance of learning to say 'no', setting boundaries, self-care and seeking professional help when required.
Notably, they reveal that women are more likely to become people-pleasers, stemming from societal pressures to be nice, nurturing, and self-sacrificial.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
