We like to think people-pleasing is kind or selfless — but the truth is, it often comes from fear, insecurity, and the need to control how others see us. In this deep dive, I’m unpacking why constantly trying to be liked or approved of actually makes life harder, not happier. We’ll talk about where people-pleasing really comes from, how it shows up in your daily life, and how to start choosing honesty and self-respect over perfection and approval.
If you’ve ever struggled to say no or worried about disappointing others, this episode will shift your perspective completely. Hit play and let’s dive in.
