Episode 43: Letting Go of People-Pleasing and Putting Yourself First

Breaking free from people-pleasing isn’t easy, but it’s necessary. In this episode, I share my personal experiences and draw from Dr. Gabor Maté’s The Myth of Normal and The Courage to Be Disliked by Fumitake Koga and Ichiro Kishimi to explore why we fall into this pattern, how it holds us back, and what it takes to finally put yourself first.
