In this episode, I’m sharing 12 practical ways to begin tackling people-pleasing habits. As I describe some relatively simple but powerful ideas, I'll talk about the importance of learning how to observe your habits with curiosity - paying attention to when people-pleasing shows up, why certain situations feel harder, and how small shifts can create big change over time.

This isn’t about flipping a switch and turning people-pleasing off; it’s about gathering insight, trying different things and taking steps towards change.

If you’re working on yourself, making progress with your psychological insights and new perspectives, you may have come across times where certain people in your life just aren’t on board or on the same path.
In today’s episode, I’m talking about what it feels like to grow, and become more self-aware while some people remain in the same patterns of thinking and seeing the world and relationships stay stuck, or even start to shift. I talk about why this can be so painful, how it stirs up emotions, and ways to handle it, while trying to accept some people aren't able or ready, to be authentic or support you in your journey.
