Ep 18: Wedding Planning, Five Brothers and Friendship Breakups: an Interview with Megan

Diary of a Recovering People Pleaser

In this episode of Diary of a Recovering People Pleaser, Jenny explores the journey of overcoming people pleasing with this week's guest, Megan. You’ll hear from Megan about how she navigated the challenges of planning her wedding amidst family expectations and social pressures. She talks about how people pleasing played a role in her wedding planning experience - and how she handled some difficult conversations!

They discuss the role that anxiety plays in people pleasing and how to manage it.

Jenny shares practical techniques like meditation to manage anxiety and set boundaries. If you're looking to start meditating - she walks you through two mantra meditations that you can start with.

Additionally, they discuss the emotional complexities of friendship breakups, balancing personal happiness with external pressures, and how our childhood experiences shaped our people pleasing habits (especially Megan, who grew up with 5 brothers!)

Plus, a mini book talk in the middle since we are both avid readers!
