#140: I STOPPED People Pleasing

July 30, 2024 Gloria Zhang Episode 140

"Give yourself self compassion. There are no bad parts. It's okay to have bad bitch energy. Start to be okay with it."

Do you still struggle with people-pleasing even if you've been doing that inner work?

If you do, don't worry bestie. I'm here to tell you that I used to struggle too! And in this episode, I'm delving deeper into the intricate dynamics of people pleasing, while I share some personal insights from my own journey to overcoming this pervasive habit.

I'll also tell you how a midlife crisis and a pivotal childhood memory helped me in confronting deep-seated people-pleasing tendencies (watch til the end so you can get a glimpse of what I did!). And lastly, don't forget to grab a pen and paper for today's call to action; I'm sharing three key strategies that helped me dismantle this behavior and embrace a more authentic version of myself. I hope it helps you too! ✨
