You are probably familiar with the more obvious signs of people-pleasing such as struggling to say no to things you don't want to do or bending over backwards for people at the expense of your own needs, but what about the less obvious signs?

People-pleasing becomes so engrained that some habits we pick up are so normalised they go under the radar and we don't see them for what they are - a manifestation of people-pleasing.

Here I explore 5 habits you might not have clocked as people-pleasing and why it's important to practice noticing how people-pleasing is showing up in your daily life. I also offer some ideas for you to start breaking these habits, in a manageable way.

If you find yourself saying yes when you really want to say no, always putting others first and feeling burnt out in the process, then this podcast is for you. I’m Charlotte Bailey, an experienced attachment and trauma-informed psychotherapist—and a former anxious people-pleaser myself.

With 15 years as a therapist and 20 years of studying psychology, I help people get to the root of their people-pleasing so they can say no without guilt and anxiety, and start living life on their own terms—authentically and unapologetically.

In this podcast, we’ll explore the ins and outs of people-pleasing: why it happens, what the signs are, and the impact it can have on your life. I'll be sharing personal and professional insights, tips and strategies you can use to help you break free from people-pleasing and finally put yourself first without feeling like a bad person.

I’m passionate about normalising therapy and making it more relatable, so expect down-to-earth, no-nonsense conversations—with the occasional bit of humour thrown in (fingers crossed!). My aim is to help you feel empowered to discover who you truly are, and experience the freedom that comes with letting go of the need to constantly please others.

So, if you're ready to stop bending over backwards for everyone else and start living the life you want, stay tuned. Let's dive in and break free from people-pleasing, together.
