Are you a people pleaser?⁣ Yeah, me too.⁣ This episode is all about people pleasing. At the root, people pleasing is trying to manipulate other people's emotions. It is trying to make them happy. ⁣ But we can't MAKE anyone feel anything, especially at our own expense. ⁣ ⁣ The alternative? Find a loving reason. Don't do things out of obligation. Change your thoughts to love. ⁣ Instead of being the angry, resentful victim, try finding a reason you want to serve. ⁣Stop pleasing and start loving. ⁣
