People Pleasing Ain't It | Live Your Life, Sis

 


 


 



People-pleasing is a habit that we’ve all fallen prey to at some
point in our lives.  It is the act of pleasing other people
instead of doing the things that we know will make us happy or
the things that will bring us peace.   


People pleasing wears many faces, but the one we’re undoubtedly
most familiar with is saying yes when we REALLY want to say no,
even when we know we’re already stretched beyond capacity. 


But did you know that people pleasing comes out of a
perfectionist mindset, AND that the perfectionist
mindset that gives birth to
people pleasing is born out of white supremacy?


I know, right?  CRAZY!!


Listen, I was taking aback too when Natty said it, but then
code-switching and shape-shifting immediately came to mind.


I see you clutching your pearls again, sis!  I did the same
thing.


Anyway…


I can’t give you all this tea now.  You gotta tune in to
hear us POUR IT ALL OUT!

Here a few PEOPLE PLEASING points we touched in this
episode:

 


How this behavior is connected to
perfectionism, self-sabotage
and white supremacy

The many faces of this behavior and how each face is rooted
in the lack of self-awareness

How to break the cycle while still being
there for and supporting those you love
