On ‘Mental Breakthrough’, host Jessica Reyes and guest life coach with a master’s of counseling Alisa Harp discuss what it means to be a people-pleaser, the downsides of this behavior, and how to break free of the habit.
Understand your motivation
Are you saying “yes” because you genuinely want to, or because you fear disappointing others?
It’s okay to say “no.”
Saying no is a way to care for yourself and protects your time and energy.
Self-esteem is key
Remember, you have value even if you aren’t always helping others.
