In our attempts to have our needs for love, approval and belongingness met, we often engage in "people-pleasing" behaviours, where we go out of our way to make the people in our lives happy and pleased with us.

In this episode, I talk about what it means to people-please, explore why we engage in this behaviour and how we can effectively manage our emotional needs.
