Sara opens up about her own struggles with people pleasing, sharing personal stories that highlight how this behaviour is often a trauma response. From family dynamics to social anxiety, she covers it all, making you reflect on your own experiences.

Whether you're someone who struggles with people pleasing or you're just curious about the topic, this episode is a must-listen.
