Show Notes

Those who have a tendency to “people please,” or help, fix, or say yes to every request, do so for a myriad of reasons, mostly very well-intentioned. But jumping into fixing something or over-committing to requests in order to please others can cause hard feelings, overwhelm, and ultimately trust breakdowns. Ila and Charles unpack how behaviours that many of us have, on the surface, seem generous and selfless, can actually have negative effects.
