Episode 33: empaths, unlearning people pleasing and setting boundaries
Recovering people pleasers, unite! ✨
calling all people pleasers to the front.
I used to be a textbook people pleaser, baddie. Until I learned that taking up space, asking for help, and honoring my needs didn’t make me a “bad” person- it actually makes me a self-preserving baddie!
Today's topic is all about people pleasing - prioritizing others' desires, needs, and opinions over one's own, often at the cost of one's well-being or values. Here, we’ll be sharing signs and patterns of this behavior, its negative effects, and how it differs from being empathetic. We’re also talking about practical tips for setting boundaries and self-care, such as saying "no" firmly, avoiding over-explaining, and celebrating successes.
This episode is for you if:
you find yourself constantly putting others' needs and desires before your own
you’re struggling to say "no," and feeling overwhelmed and drained as a result
you're ready to learn how to set healthy boundaries, prioritize self-care, and develop a stronger sense of self rooted in awareness and compassion
“people pleasing will almost always make you feel regret later on.”
