Living Based on My Inherent Worth vs. People’s Opinions 

Today we are talking about one of the most difficult but universal tendencies we experience—people-pleasing. Our guest is Megan Weinstein, of Chicago, who shares about her journey practicing Buddhism and how chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo helped her identify and tackle the feelings that, for too long, led her to live her life based on other people’s opinions.

For anyone who has ever felt like they are supposed to show up in a certain way, rather than as your true precious self, this episode is for you.
