In this powerful and relatable episode of Tea with Dee, Delynn Miller peels back the layers of people-pleasing — not as a personality trait, but as a learned survival mechanism. If you've ever said yes when every part of you wanted to say no, or carried the emotional weight of everyone around you, this one’s for you. From childhood conditioning to nervous system responses, Delynn walks you through how people-pleasing often masks itself as kindness, but comes at the cost of your authenticity, peace, and joy. Through personal stories, real talk, and soul work prompts, she shows you how to stop shrinking yourself to keep the peace and start honoring the most important relationship you have — the one with yourself. In this episode, you'll learn how to: Identify where your people-pleasing patterns began Understand the “fawn” trauma response and how it shows up in your life Set boundaries that protect your standards, not just your space Replace guilt with grounded self-respect If you're ready to stop performing for approval and start standing in your truth, this episode is your permission slip.
