People Pleasing (isn’t kindness)

About this episode

This episode discusses the nuances of people pleasing and offers practical steps to overcome it.

People-pleasing might look like kindness — but underneath, it’s often fear of rejection, fear of conflict, fear of being ‘too much.’ No one wants to be a people pleaser but it happens and in this episode, Otuto (our guest) and your favorite host discuss people pleasing tendencies, practical steps and more.
