Someone or something that pleases or wants to please people. A person who has an emotional need to please others often at the expense of his or her own needs or desires (Merriam-Webster).
In this episode, I open up about being a people pleaser and let you in on a recent incident that allowed me to confront these tendencies. In the episode, I dive in deep on the research to understand what a people pleaser is, how it ruins important relationships and how we can possibly overcome it.
