In this soulful solo episode, Tobi Ojekunle dives deep into the emotional trap of people-pleasing — what he calls “the disease to please.” Through the powerful and heartbreaking story of Robin Williams, this episode explores how constantly seeking approval can quietly steal our peace, authenticity, and joy.
Tobi shares a heartfelt reflection, ancient wisdom, biblical grounding, and practical, step-by-step tools to help you recognise, unlearn, and heal from this pattern. If you've ever said “yes” when your soul screamed “no,” this episode is your sacred permission to choose yourself.
✨ Topics Covered:
- The root causes of people-pleasing
- Signs you might be suffering from the disease to please
- Practical healing strategies and boundary-setting tips
- Biblical reflection: Galatians 1:10
- A guided reflection and healing prayer
🎧 Tune in now and start your journey back to authenticity and self-love.
