Does your need to please others get in the way of having authentic and meaningful relationships?
Whether you call yourself a people-pleaser or you’re unaware of why you seem to find yourself inexplicably saying “yes” to things you don’t want to do, it’s very likely you often end up feeling overwhelmed, exhausted and resentful. A life driven by a fear of rejection and a need for external validation leads to little satisfaction and not much joy.

Learn more about why you may be getting in your own way of meaningful relationships and how to start stepping out of this pattern.
