Double tap if you relate to this post. If you are a people pleaser and want to break the habit, you’re going to want to listen to episode 140 of The PedsDocTalk Podcast: Finding Joy-How people-pleasing negatively impacts motherhood 🎙️ People pleasers can have many characteristics but here are a few examples: ➡️ You place all your worth on others’ happiness above your own. ➡️ Committing even though you’re mentally and physically exhausted. ➡️ Not asking for help to avoid burdening others. ➡️ Forgiving people who don’t change hurtful behaviors. ➡️ Adapting to fit into a situation rather than listening to your own needs. ➡️ Constantly apologizing, whether it’s at work or at home. ➡️ and much more... People pleasing is a learned coping response from childhood. I’m a recovering people pleaser and as a wife, physician, mother, and business owner I’ve really had to change my people-pleasing ways to continue to be kind but recognize my emotional and physical needs and boundaries. In my most recent podcast episode, I go over what a people pleaser is, how it can affect you and your mental health as a mother, and how to begin to overcome it. From setting boundaries to creating affirmations, I cover it all in my podcast launching today. 🔗 Link in bio to access my podcast OR wherever you listen to podcasts If you’re a people pleaser, remember this: You can still be kind, but create very healthy boundaries Check out my podcast, okay?
