Most of us have long, detailed "scripts" of how others should behave, and when they don't, we get upset. We expect others to follow the script, even if they don't know it exists. This is not only frustrating for the people in our lives, but very frustrating for ourselves because of what we make it mean that they didn't do what we wanted them to do.

Listen to this podcast to understand the difference between making requests of others and having your own back whether they agree or not, and turning all of our emotional well-being over to others. You'll understand the freedom that comes from actually allowing people to be who they are rather than who we want them to be so we can feel better about them and ourselves.

In this episode, I'll help you identify if you're a people pleaser, why you do it, how it is harming you, and what to do about it.

Many of us have false beliefs that we have to say yes to everything, make everyone happy, and not let anyone down, ever. This of course creates so much pressure.

If you have been people pleasing for so long that you don't even remember what your own voice sounds like, this is the episode for you!
