Sometimes we pride ourselves on 'caring too much.' But making a decision can feel practically impossible when you are trying to keep everyone else happy.

And if you're always yearning for approval, you'll find it harder to make the right decisions for yourself. When you bury your own needs, you lose touch with the things that make you happy. Happiness becomes what everyone else wants.

In this episode, you'll discover how to figure out if you're a 'people pleaser' and learn how to experience joy without needing anyone else to approve of your choices.
