27. Why People Pleasing Can Be Manipulative Part 1
Description
Buckle up! We get radically candid about our own (very different) journeys with people-pleasing. We share:
* How Amanda discovered her "thoughtful gift-giving" was actually manipulation to avoid accountability
* Why Sam's role as a childhood caregiver shaped her people-pleasing patterns
* How Sam learned to stop apologizing for existing
* Their personal struggles with being "the nice one"
* Why they both ended up becoming therapists for the "wrong" reasons
* The uncomfortable truth about using "niceness" as control
* What happens when your whole identity is built on being agreeable
