318 - How to Stop People Pleasing (from two former addicts...)

People-pleasing is exhausting. Like Kathi says, it reminds her of Christmastime when “We’re baking cookies that nobody asked for.” Kathi’s friend, Cheri Gregory and co-author of “You Don’t Have to Try So Hard,” sit down to discuss why saying “sorry” is something women tend to do too much of.

“When you come to realize that you are suppressing your own emotions so that somebody else will not experience negative emotions, that’s not okay,” says Kathi.

• Find out why you are apologizing when you don’t have to.
• Why letting yourself off the hook opens yourself up to the necessary apologies you need to make.
• Learn how to say “Thank You” instead of “I’m Sorry”.
• Know how to find out if you are in fact, a people-pleaser.
