The Hidden Cost of Pleasing Everyone: It’s Time for Change

The Nourished Life Podcast

In this episode of the Nourished Life Podcast, we dive into the psychology of people pleasing and why many of us struggle with the fear of being disliked or labeled selfish. We’ll explore how upbringing and social norms shape our behavior, leading to fear of rejection, conflict, and a tendency to put others’ needs before our own.

Do you find it hard to say no, apologize too much, or feel overextended? These are all signs of people pleasing. We discuss the damaging effects of self-sacrifice, including burnout, resentment, and a weakened sense of identity.

But there’s hope! Learn how to break free from these patterns by setting boundaries, protecting your time, and nurturing your self-respect. We’ll share tips on saying “no” without guilt, creating limits in your work and personal life, and why this will lead to increased energy, stronger decision-making, and personal growth. It’s time to prioritize yourself and start living authentically!
