Do you ever spiral, wondering if someone’s mad at you, replay conversations in your head, or feel anxious after setting a boundary? Then you need this episode. Victoria sits down with licensed psychotherapist and New York Times bestselling author Meg Josephson, whose new book Are You Mad at Me? is helping people-pleasers everywhere unlearn the patterns keeping them stuck. They dive into where people-pleasing comes from (usually childhood trauma we don’t even recognize), how to stop abandoning yourself to keep the peace, and what it takes to feel safe being authentically you. Meg shares practical, therapeutic tools to help you regulate your emotions, set boundaries without guilt, and stop overexplaining yourself to be understood using some of Vic’s recent personal experiences as a guide. Tune in to finally understand your people-pleasing tendencies and start rewriting the story.
