If you find yourself so focused on other people’s needs that yours aren’t a priority, this episode is for you! This week is a big one as we’re celebrating 2 years of OKAY-ISH! We are so excited for what’s in store, including some really awesome guests. Maryellen has been seeing ads all over social media lately to “learn how to stop being a people pleaser” which serves as the episode inspiration for the week! Maryellen chats:  

What is a people pleaser? 

At what point is it a bad thing?  

We are in charge of our own happiness

Signs of being a people pleaser 

Boundaries — they’re meant to keep people in, not push them away 

No is not a dirty word & uncomfortable is not bad  

Loved ones don’t want us to be people pleasers 

Keeping our own needs a priority helps our relationships with others
