Finding authenticity and letting go of being a people pleaser are both part of this process.
Ever found yourself saying 'yes' to everyone, just to fit in or be liked? Vic and Hamish from 'Sober Awkward' are here to tackle this all-too-common habit of people-pleasing, especially as it intersects with sobriety. In this episode, Vic opens up about her journey from being overly accommodating to finding her true self, free from the haze of alcohol. She candidly shares moments where her desire to be liked left her feeling drained and unfulfilled.
On the flip side, Hamish argues that a bit of people-pleasing can simply be good manners and a way to fit into society. However, both agree that when taken too far, it can steal precious time from loved ones and lead to burnout. Through their honest and often humorous conversation, they delve into how sobriety helps reveal our authentic selves, peeling back the layers of our people-pleasing tendencies.
They also offer practical advice on how to set boundaries and recognize when being too nice becomes a problem. This episode is a refreshing reminder that you don't have to sacrifice your well-being to make others happy. Tune in for some laughs, relatable stories, and tips on how to live more authentically.
