Poor boundaries and spoon-feeding

Think you might be a people pleaser?  Perhaps you’ve got poor boundaries with others, really want to be liked or need a lot of external validation to feel that you’re good enough to be in your role? 

In this solo episode I’m going to share some of the signs that you’re a people pleaser, what it’s costing you and 4 practical strategies you can use to break free from your people pleasing patterns and start prioritising your own needs. 

This is the second in a series of 3 podcasts this summer around mindset and setting boundaries and if you’ve not already listened to episode 166 on overcommitting.    

One of the most powerful things you can do is learn how to say no which is why I’ve created my free How To Say No challenge which will take you from saying yes and regretting it to feeling comfortable saying no in just 5 days. Head over to carlamillertraining.com/sayno to access that.
