In today’s solo episode I’m breaking down why your people pleasing tendencies actually make perfect sense.

People pleasing can come with a lot of shame and I hope today’s episode shows you that it’s not your fault that people pleasing became your coping strategy – it’s actually very understandable.

I also discussed:

• How our fight or flight response shows up in social situations
• Beliefs that are getting in the way of you stopping you from overcoming people pleasing
• Why you don’t always have to be growing or healing
• How to actually apply what you learn in podcasts
• Why our brains tend to seek out safety and comfort
• The importance of tolerating distress when changing people pleasing tendencies

Journal prompts from today’s episode:

1. Where do I tend to people please to avoid an uncomfortable feeling?
2. Given what I’ve learnt, how can I be more compassionate to myself when I am people pleasing?
