Welcome to the Teen Life Coach podcast. I'm Coach Sammy and I am so glad you are here.

The teen years can be fun and exciting, but also filled with self-doubt, insecurities, and lots of frustration.

I am here to help you along your teen

journey and make sure you enjoy your teen years as much as possible. Let's get started.

All right, you guys. Hey, welcome to the podcast today. I was just chatting with the guests that we have today. And I am so excited for

you guys to learn from her. She's got so many good things to teach you. And we have Sarah Fisk on the

podcast today. And I'm going to call her the people pleasing expert because she is all about teaching people how to not people please

and just kind of how that affects their lives. And so Sarah, can you introduce yourself and even tell

us how you got into coaching people on people pleasing? Yeah, I'd love to. Thank you. First of all, I love you. I love you

coached my daughter. You did such a fantastic job with her. So I'm just really pleased to be

here with you talking about this. People pleasing for me is like 100% autobiographical. I'm 49. I'll be 50

this year. And about five years ago, I just had this sense of like stuckness,

like so dependent on what other people thought of me, worrying about what they thought of me,

worrying about who I had made mad, who was going to be mad at some future decision that I would

make. And the overwhelm that I felt really just

sent me into looking for it. Like I would not have identified as a people pleaser because I could

say no to things that I didn't want to do. But what I didn't realize is that often I was lying

about my reasons for saying

no, or I just had this sense of like fear of people asking me for things or doing things because

I wouldn't be able to stick to my no if somebody was really persistent in asking or something.

And so,

but the people pleasing really just came about because I, I felt it in my own life and I needed a solution and I really couldn't find a good one.
