216. The Courage to Be Disliked

Ever catch yourself trying way too hard to be liked? Saying you'll go to the party when you'd prefer to read romantasy in bed or holding back your feminist opinion and love for tarot so no one judges you? Yeah… same.

In this episode, we’re talking about the very human need to be liked, and the 5 skills to develop to stop caring so much about what people think. You’ll hear stories about what I used to do for approval (I'm not proud!) and how I’m learning to show up more honestly…

We’ll get into why people-pleasing is so hard to let go of and how to make it hurt less when someone thinks badly of you.

We’ll also talk about going camping with your partner's family, Lady Gaga, Inside Out 2, and what it actually feels like to be disliked... and okay with it.

If you’ve ever watered yourself down to be more “palatable,” this one’s for you.
