The Psychology of People Pleasers and How to Stop

Have you been saying yes to everyone else while quietly saying no to yourself? In this episode, I break down the psychology behind people pleasing, explain why it's actually a survival response your nervous system learned in childhood, and reveal how the little-known "fawn" response keeps you trapped. I'll walk you through a simple three-step process to stop abandoning yourself, set healthier boundaries, and become kind by choice instead of by fear. Ready to break the patterns holding you back?
