In this episode of the Soberful podcast, Veronica Valli dives deep into the concept of people pleasing and its detrimental effects on sobriety.

She discusses the importance of setting boundaries and taking responsibility for one's own emotions as crucial steps towards maintaining sobriety and emotional health.
