People-pleasing is a psychological and emotional disease of low self-esteem, insecurity, self-doubt, perceived inadequacy and unworthy-ness. And it's rampant. I encounter it every day and as much as it might surprise you, there was a period of my life when I was a world-class people-pleaser. Driven by a need for approval, social acceptance, popularity, security and group respect, I found myself complying, obliging and conforming out of fear, weakness and insecurity. This episode is a starting point for a bigger conversation, but I think you'll find some valuable stories, insights and strategies. Enjoy.
