From childhood, we’re taught that helping others is the right thing to do. But what happens when it goes too far? This week, host Paula Felps sits down with author and podcast host Amy Wilson to talk about her entertaining new book, Happy to Help: Adventures of a People Pleaser, to learn more about what turns us into people pleasers, when to know it’s a problem, and what to do about it.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why women are more likely to become “helpers” throughout their lives.
- What demand sensitivity is and how it contributes to people-pleasing behavior.
- How breaking the people pleasing habit changes relationships — for the better!
Download bonus content from Happy to Help including an excerpt, book club guide, podcast playlist, and more!
