Summary
Do you have this chronic need to say yes to everything people ask of you because you like appreciation and fear disappointment? If so, you might have this disease called, The Need to Please.
In this episode, I share the story of one of my clients who suffered from this disease. As a grandmother, she said saying yes was her way of showing love to her family, while in reality, it wasn't showing love to herself. Through coaching, I helped her figure out her yeses and no's, and how to honor them. There are ways to please yourself without feeling selfish so make sure to tune in!
