332: Confessions of a Recovering People Pleaser with Amy Wilson


Listen Later

Are you exhausted from trying to make everyone else happy while your needs barely make the list? It’s time for a wake-up call: you don’t need to be everything to everyone. In this episode, we’re tackling people-pleasing head-on—because trust us, We’ve been there, and it’s not a great place to live.

Our guest Amy Wilson, actress, podcaster, and author of the newly released, Happy to Help: Adventures of a People Pleaser, shares relatable stories and a fresh perspective on why so many women are stuck in the people-pleasing trap. From the pressure to always say “yes” to the struggle of navigating teenage guilt trips (you know, the “don’t you love me?” eyes), we’re diving deep into the roots of this behavior. We’ll explore how society has set us up with impossible expectations and what you can do to flip the script—because being a “good mom” doesn’t mean losing yourself in the process.

This episode is packed with empowering advice, a dose of humor, and actionable steps to help you start putting yourself first without the guilt. Ready to stop raising your hand for everyone else and start raising it for YOU? Let’s go! Listen now and reclaim your confidence—you deserve it.
