#186 - People Pleasing Is A Sign You Have Given Away Your Power to Please Yourself

In today’s episode, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy talks about people-pleasing and how it means you’ve taken for granted the power of pleasing yourself first. People pleasing can look an awful lot like admirably generous or helpful behavior. Taking on the burden of others’ expectations, responsibilities, and judgments isn’t only bad for us – it’s just as bad for the people who may not have to take accountability for their own actions and responsibilities if we are constantly trying to please them.
