EP #3 - People Pleasing

How to Get Along with Your Family Podcast with Rebecca Ingebrigtsen

People pleasing is one of my favorite topics. It shows up in so many areas of our lives and most of the time we don't even know why we are doing it. We think that it makes us a good person. A good daughter, wife, sister, mother, aunt etc. We think it is our job and that it is the only way we will find love, acceptance, and prove our worthiness. We believe our families need to be "fixed" and that we have the power to keep it all from crumbling down around us. We try to be the peace keeper. But it never really works and that leaves us feeling disappointed, emotionally exhausted, and like a failure. It is time to break this cycle!
