Woman In Progress

Hustling for Worthiness: People Pleasing

Listen on

Episode notes

Do any of the following describe you? Feel buried under an endless To-Do list? Feel guilty saying no? Constantly worried about what others will think? If you said yes to any of these questions, you may be a people pleaser! The good news? You’re not alone and there’s a lot you can do to amend your approval seeking behaviours and validate yourself.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • What people-pleasing is and how it might be showing up in your life
  • The psychology behind why we people please and the feelings driving us to abandon ourselves
  • Subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways your behavior is actually people-pleasing
  • How to cut the cord of external validation and approve of yourself 


If you’re the kind of person who feels the pressure to keep others happy or maybe you find yourself seeking approval more often than necessary, this episode is especially for you.
