15. Why People Pleasing Has Nothing To Do With Pleasing
Manage episode 491008788 series 3625869
In which areas of your life are you saying yes, when you really want to say no, because you are afraid of the consequences of a no?
Maybe you take on an extra project at work, even if you know it will burden you?
Maybe someone asked for your time or energy, and you hear your mouth saying sure, no problem even if it actually is a problem?
If someone asks for your opinion, do you say what you thin they want to hear, or do you share what is true for you?
You might think being agreeable or being the yes person at work is just you being helpful, kind and generous.
The truth is, this has little to do with being kind.
Today, I’m talking about the misunderstood behavior so many high-achieving women struggle with: People-pleasing.
We’ll explore why it’s not really about pleasing others, but about keeping yourself emotionally safe, and how learning to say no can actually deepen connection — not destroy it.
This is the final episode of Season 1 of Self Path Podcast. I'll be back in August again.
Are you ready to find the courage to say no and finally speak your needs? I'm going to work with a handful of private clients this August.
