"When it comes to people pleasing, in reality, it's so many assumptions... In theory, you could go around and say, are these the expectations you have for me? And they'll probably say, no, I just want you to be you." - Meredith Ritchie
In this episode of Diary of a Recovering People Pleaser , Jenny and Meredith dive into the concept of people pleasing at work, specifically in the world of education. As former educators, they discuss their personal experiences with people pleasing leading to burnout and other challenges.
