Welcome to the 3rd listener monthly Q&A on The Commitment to Growth Podcast! In this insightful episode, we're sending off the "Healing the Inner People Pleaser" monthly theme by diving deep into the intricate world of people-pleasing through a curated Q&A session fueled by questions from our engaged listeners. We delve into the nuanced layers of this pervasive behaviour, providing practical insights, empathetic understanding, and empowering solutions.

We address the familiar tug-of-war between self-assertion and self-abandonment that plagues long-time people-pleasers. Listeners are guided through the complex psychology behind this phenomenon, exploring the roots of seeking validation through sacrificing authenticity. Listeners are treated to a rich tapestry of inquiries ranging from setting boundaries while battling the fear of appearing rude to differentiating between people-pleasing and narcissism. We chat about how to embrace vulnerability as a catalyst for growth, fostering honest dialogues that pave the way for authentic connections. Practical strategies for content creators grappling with people-pleasing tendencies in the digital realm are also unpacked, shedding light on the importance of staying true to one's voice amidst the noise of algorithms and trends. The episode culminates in an exploration of unattachment as a transformative practice for people-pleasers, urging listeners to redefine their worth beyond external validation.

Through poignant anecdotes, relatable insights, and actionable advice, this Q&A episode serves as a beacon of hope for those navigating the labyrinth of people-pleasing in their personal and professional lives.

Takeaways:
  • Setting boundaries can be scary for chronic people-pleasers, but gathering evidence that the right people will receive our authentic truth can help deepen relationships.
  • There is a difference between people-pleasing and narcissism. People pleasers operate from a fear of losing love, while narcissists have an exaggerated sense of self-importance.
  • Content creators who are people pleasers should practice showing up authentically on social media and not be attached to the response or validation of others.
  • Unattachment is important in healing the inner people pleaser. It means not tying our worth to the responses of others and standing in our authenticity regardless of how we are received.
  • Being unattached allows us to feel safe in our relationships, reduces stress levels, and opens us up to more love and acceptance.
  • It's important to be okay with not being liked by everyone and to be willing to be disliked. The people who truly love and resonate with us will be drawn to our authenticity.
