How many times have you said yes to others, hidden your NO just to make them like you or feel better? Although it is okay in close relationships to show up for people when they need you, bending backwards, and saying no to yourself to overcompensate for your friend's or family's need broods a chronic and hard-to-rid-of habit – people pleasing. And this pleases everyone but yourself, builds resentment, and destroys the relationship you're trying to save! 


Listen in today as Kathleen helps you discover the downsides of trying to make people happy at your own expense. She also shares the steps for getting rid of this chronic habit so that you can smoothly navigate your relationships and find your happiness while tapping into your humanness.


 Tune in as she shares about:

  • What people pleasing is
  • Why people pleasers often rationalize why they people please
  • Reasons why you tend to people please
  • Why people pleasing is a problem in both platonic and romantic relationships
  • How you can liberate yourself from people pleasing
  • Drawing a clear boundary between showing up for someone and people-pleasing
  • How communal and individual boundaries work together to maintain a healthy relationship 
  • The importance of examining your reasons for people pleasing

… and so much more!
