The people pleasing habits that followed me into marriage.

For years, I thought being a good person meant being easy. Easy to accommodate. Easy to understand. Easy to disappoint. What I didn’t realize was that constantly putting everyone else’s needs ahead of my own was teaching people that my needs didn’t matter. In this video, I talk about self-abandonment, people-pleasing, emotional labor, and how many women slowly lose themselves in relationships without even realizing it’s happening. If you’ve ever felt alone in a marriage, exhausted from carrying the emotional weight of a relationship, or struggled to speak up for your own needs, this conversation is for you. Healing isn’t about becoming easier for everyone else. It’s about learning how to stay on your own side.
