Description

In this episode of "Rise Up Live Joy Your Way," certified life coach Kamini Wood dives into the common habit of people-pleasing, exploring why it's so pervasive and how to break free. She explains that people-pleasing is a persistent tendency to prioritize others' needs and desires over your own, often stemming from a fear of rejection or a need for approval. Drawing on research from neuroscience and psychology, Kamini discusses how these behaviors are reinforced by the brain's reward pathways and can be linked to insecure attachment styles from childhood. She offers a compassionate, science-backed guide to overcoming this pattern through boundary-setting, cognitive reframing, and self-compassion, empowering listeners to live a more authentic life.
