Here’s a hard truth: people-pleasing feels like a way to keep the peace in your relationships—but in reality, it steals your peace and creates even more conflict. 🫠
That’s the paradox of people-pleasing, and it’s one of the sneakiest ways perfectionism shows up in your relationships.
In this episode, Coach Elizabeth Burrows breaks down:
📌 Why people-pleasing isn’t protecting your relationship—it’s sabotaging it.
📌 How saying “yes” to your partner can actually mean saying “no” to yourself.
📌 The connection between authenticity, conflict, and deeper intimacy.
📌 A mindset shift to help you stop fearing conflict and start using it to strengthen your relationship.
If you’ve been tired of people-pleasing but nervous about what might happen if you stopped, this episode is your permission slip to let it go.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
