This week, I’m talking about something I’ve officially decided to retire from: people-pleasing.
After a disappointing lunch that turned into a bigger realization, I started asking myself a hard question: who am I protecting when I shrink my needs to make other people comfortable?
In this episode, I share a personal story, unpack what people-pleasing actually is, why so many of us fall into it, and how it slowly disconnects us from our authentic selves. We’ll talk about fear of conflict, burnout, conditioning, and the subtle ways we self-abandon just to avoid discomfort.
If you’ve ever said “it’s fine” when it wasn’t fine… this one’s for you.
It might be uncomfortable to let people feel their feelings.
But it’s even more uncomfortable to live a life that isn’t honest.
Let’s stop performing. Let’s start being real.
