WHO THE F*CK AM I? - A People-Pleaser Podcast Anthony Petaros

In this episode we're penetrating the topic of the birds and the bees, the P's and the V's, and everything else found while weaving the awkward labyrinth of sex, sensuality, and pleasure. Anthony gets into his own tumultuous journey around sex through the eyes of a recovering people-pleaser and discusses ways for us all to allow for a more fully expressive life through openness and grace in this domain. 

In this episode we're hacking our way into the laser-laden chamber of the mind that represents our "Vault of Self Worth." Anthony shares his own past propensities to see his inner vault as an empty and echoing Scrooge McDuck money bin. He then details how we recovering people-pleasers must learn to 10x our gold coin deposits of internal positive self-regard in order to offset the pernicious reality of our ever-present negativity bias. 

In this episode we're sifting through the murky waters of our convoluted nature versus nurture pie chart, as well as the hierarchical complexities of our value structures. Anthony breaks down the fixed versus growth mindset, and highlights some of his own limiting value sets that have historically dictated his actions as a people-pleaser.

In this episode we're sifting through our presentational facade and getting to the core of why we struggle showcasing our authentic selves in relationships. Whether it's with friends, family, coworkers and aquaintances, or simply a back-and-forth with the local barista, how we present ourselves to the world as people-pleasers is yet another way we limit flourishing and true expression in our lives. 

In this episode we're tackling the tricky and sticky tripwire topic of the victimhood mentality/victim mindset. Anthony does his best to explain and differentiate this self-debilitating mental complex as it pertains to people-pleasing, as well as acknowledging the all too real and pervasive reality of victims/victimization found throughout our society today. 

In this episode we're pulling out all the punches when it comes to healthfully managing our feelings around anger. Whether it's perpetual conflict avoidance, the desire to self-soothe, or our inability to see being mad as an acceptable emotion, it's time to come out of our bruised and bloodied internal Fight Club of One basements.
