People pleasing is sneaky. it labels itself as being polite, nice, and just keeping the peace. What it actually is is lying, manipulation, and sacrificing yourself to prove you're likable and even lovable.

This episode was inspired by my recent experience at a restaurant where I was not okay with my food, but simply said, "I'm fine." I share the toll people pleasing takes on you, the good qualities it has given you, and the four simple ways you can stop people pleasing.
