If you’ve ever felt trapped in people-pleasing, hypervigilance, or the 'am I too sensitive?' shame spiral, this episode unpacks why. We explore how fawning shapes relationships (especially with narcissists), the 6 fawning archetypes, and why grief is essential for breaking free. Meg’s new book 'Are You Mad at Me?' releases August 5th, and her wisdom is a balm for every empath seeking authentic self-trust.
