In this epsiode we look at the people-pleasing impulse of denying our needs through the potentially alluring lens of the lone wolf. We'll try and hack down the door of our isolated cranial cabins and finally let our needs be known. 

In this episode we try and swallow the tough pill of seeing our suffering as a choice. Tony gets into his own expanding relationship around the topic and discusses how the inner-narratives we create are keeping us shackled to suffering in unnecessary ways. 

In this episode we're talking all about people-pleasing the bearded boss upstairs in the clouds. Tony recalls his early experiences in the Christian church and how the unholy trinity of fear, shame, and guilt led him to pleasing Jesus and God. 

In this episode we weave our way through the mazes of high school, college, and career paths as people-pleasers. Tony discusses his own struggles in these areas and how "The Industrial Education Complex" has served as an exacerbation vehicle for people-pleasing behaviors. 

In this episode we discuss the concept of people-pleasers being liars in a bit more depth. Tony also proposes a few ways that we might upend these misguided tendencies. Whether it's lying to ourselves, to others, (or most likely both), no one is benefiting from this distorted form of veiling the truth.

In this episode we discuss the oh so lovely trauma response of "fawning" that serves as a coping mechanism within our modes of people-pleasing. Are you a Fawn Star? Maybe it's time we chuck that baby deer mentality into a trebuchet and let it fly out of our lives for good. 

In this epsiode we look at how the people in our lives affect our pleasing tendencies in distinct ways. Each person possesses a unique gravitational pull on our desire to please that we may or may not be aware of consciously. We'll introduce what Tony calls our "Celestial Pleasing Chart", which will give us more insight and awareness around all of our people-pleasing blind spots. 

In this episode we discuss some of the smaller, yet pernicous ways in which people-pleasers unwittinlgy make silent sacrifices to the people around them on a daily basis. 

In this episode we discuss some of the limiting mindsets and self-sabotaging behaviors that so many of us people-pleasers struggle with.
