Hey, Friend,

How many times have you said, “I’m a people pleaser” as an explanation for why you are working so hard to make everyone else happy? You are not alone.

A 2024 poll by YouGov found that 49% of American adults consider themselves people pleasers. In addition, 92% reported that they engage in people-pleasing behaviors from time-to-time.

In today’s episode, the first of a three-part series on people pleasing, I share some reasons why people are committed to people pleasing.

Is people pleasing a good trait? It can be.

Is people pleasing unhealthy? It can also be that.

In next week’s episode, I pose the question: Is People Pleasing Your Leadership Blind Spot?

And in the last of the three-part series: People Pleasing vs. Self Care.

I hope you give this series a listen.

I pray this blesses you.

Becky
