“What Will They Think?” How to Let Go of People-Pleasing
Imagine you’re stuck in your current situation because you worry what other people will think.
Imagine thinking, “I don’t want to let other people down,” and yet some part of your soul feels a thud. Because you’re letting yourself down.
Imagine deciding to care-less (not not care!) what other people think, but you don’t know where to begin.
Leaving long-held relationships at law firms or roles is one of the BIGGEST things that keeps women lawyers stuck.
In this solo episode, see if you’re stuck in the “people-pleasing” pitfall. This is incredibly common among women lawyers, and it can silently sabotage your ability to make a switch.

If so listen to this episode, we explore:
Why fear of disappointing others may be holding you back
How to re-frame what it means to “lose” relationships when you leave
A new way of thinking to help you see that other people’s opinions are none of your business
This episode will help you untangle the guilt, clarify your values, and begin to move forward with confidence.
