In this week’s episode, I’m getting advice from a therapist on how to stop being a people pleaser & start putting yourself first - two things I’ve been trying to prioritize throughout pregnancy. I’m joined by Dené Logan, a Marriage & Family Therapist, Author, and Podcast Host. Together, we dive deep into the topic of people-pleasing, exploring its roots, how it affects personal growth, and strategies to overcome it. I learned a TON from Dené that I’m excited to put into practice - hope you guys did too!
