Understanding the Roots of People-Pleasing with Amy Green Smith

  • Summary

  • In this conversation, Amy Greensmith discusses the concept of people-pleasing and its roots in our primitive defense mechanism.

We also discuss the impact of living authentically and prioritizing self-worth. The conversation highlights the importance of embodying all aspects of oneself and setting an example for the next generation.

    "People-pleasing involves sacrificing ourselves to please others."
