Ep #15: How to Overcome People-Pleasing Paralysis

I think we all know what a people pleaser is, and it’s something I see in pretty much every single female client I work with. Societally, women were put in a caretaking, subservient role for most of history. And as we take our rightful place now in boardrooms, governments, and as international icons, we’re getting better, but there’s still work to do.

Time and time again, something I see even in my most powerful clients is an inherent fear of not being liked. Of course, it’s great to get along with others and put others first. But this becomes a problem when it’s at the expense of our own happiness, and that’s the people-pleasing pattern we need to empower ourselves to change.

Tune in this week to discover how to start recovering from a syndrome I call people-pleasing paralysis. I’m sharing how to see the ways that people pleasing is currently showing up in your professional and personal life, and what you can do to pause in those moments you usually revert to people pleasing, and instead act intentionally and set boundaries.
