Clayton is a co-host of The Shift To Freedom podcast as well as an international relationship coach and facilitator who provides individual and group coaching sessions for both men and women. His goal is to help people become the ideal, most authentic versions of themselves so that they can show up fully in their relationships. In this episode, he talks about the dangers of people pleasing, the reasons why this behavior is so common, and how to stop people pleasing and start making genuine connections.
"People pleasing brings a ton of limitations and really gets in the way of us being able to create adult relationships where there's vulnerability, authenticity, transparency, and a resilience in the connection where both people can be seen and actually loved," explains co-host Clayton Olson. If you have a tendency toward people pleasing, you are likely not being your authentic self and may even be struggling to find your tribe. Truthfully, it takes a lot of inner work to reverse the childhood conditioning that reinforces people pleasing behaviors, but it is worth it to build better relationships. Today, co-host Ben Easter talks with Clayton about why people pleasing exists and how to stop people pleasing and start forming more authentic relationships.
