Welcome back for another Soul Driven episode! This week, I'm diving into people-pleasing - a subject that typically brings up a lot of emotions. I don't believe people-pleasing is an insecurity or character flaw, I believe it's a trauma response from our childhood, and I want to help anyone who suffers from it.
People who know me probably have no idea that I've struggled with people-pleasing my entire life. I sought approval from the wrong people. I allowed my worth and value to be determined by those who didn't do that for themselves. I agonized over saying "no" or letting someone know they hurt me. And even as a business owner, I struggled with being honest with my employees.
But over the past year, I've been working on overcoming people-pleasing and I am ready to share my story and process. There's always more work to do, but I'm excited to share where it originated, why it's harmful and ways to beat it.
Freedom is on the other side!
