We’re very much a work-in-progress when it comes to stopping people pleasing, but that’s why we want to talk about it. People pleasing can manifest itself in so many ways from always saying “yes” to constantly apologising to compromising our boundaries or offering to do something or taking the fall for something to keep the peace. Is it because we as women were rewarded for people pleasing tendencies early in our career? But it’s not sustainable, it creates resentment and how do you even know if it’s worth it? How do we break the habit of people pleasing?
