27: Why People Pleasing Can Be Manipulative Part 1

Buckle up! We get radically candid about our own (very different) journeys with people-pleasing. We share:

* How Amanda discovered her "thoughtful gift-giving" was actually manipulation to avoid accountability

* Why Sam's role as a childhood caregiver shaped her people-pleasing patterns

* How Sam learned to stop apologizing for existing

* Their personal struggles with being "the nice one"

* Why they both ended up becoming therapists for the "wrong" reasons

* The uncomfortable truth about using "niceness" as control

* What happens when your whole identity is built on being agreeable
