Sorry Not Sorry: How To Stop People Pleasing

OUR HOSTS: 

Corinne Foxx - @corinnefoxx

Natalie McMillan - @nataliemcm and @shopnataliemcmillan 

What we're drinking: La Marca Prosecco 

TOPIC: 

As we’ve gotten older, it’s been easier to say no to things that don’t align with our values, but people-pleasing tendencies still pop up every once in a while. We break down the common signs of people-pleasing, what causes these behavioral patterns, and how to become a people-respecter instead of pleaser. We talk about the consequences of putting everyone’s needs before your own and share tips for creating effective boundaries. Plus, we have some great prompts for politely declining or buying yourself more response time. 

In this episode, we discuss:

• The most common misconception about people-pleasing
• Recognizing if your environment growing up required you to neglect your own needs in order to do things for others 
• Accepting that ‘no’ is a complete sentence
• Why people-pleasing tends to disproportionately affect girls and women 
• The relationship between perfectionism and people-pleasing 
• Questions to ask yourself before you commit to something 
• Empowering mantras to repeat when you’re facing resistance with your boundaries
