How People Pleasing Keeps You Stuck

I am a recovering people pleaser. I spent most of my life living by a list of shoulds and the expectations of others. I checked all the boxes of being a good wife, mother, employee, daughter, sister... you name it. I never stopped to consider what I actually wanted; what was important to me. And well, we know how that turned out... hello divorced, unhappy, burnt out corporate executive. I know I am not alone in this because I hear this story from women all the time. 

This week on the podcast I talk with Amy Green Smith who is a Hypnotist and NLP coach who specializes in helping people break free of people pleasing to live happier, more fulfilled lives. We talk in depth about why we do it, how it keeps us stressed out, stuck and unhappy as well as practical tools and strategies that can help us live our most authentic lives.
