Ep 30: Childhood Trauma, Toxic Workplaces, and Finding Self-Worth: An Interview with Tracie Groves

"I realized that if I say no to someone and it's going to make them not love me, then they probably don't."- Tracie

In this insightful episode, Jenny has a conversation with Tracie, a self-described recovering people pleaser, who shares her deep and personal journey of overcoming a lifetime of people pleasing.

Tracie delves into how her childhood trauma in an abusive household wired her to strive for the approval of others. She also discusses the impact of a toxic workplace where her people-pleasing tendencies were manipulated, leading to severe health issues. Through therapy and self-reflection, Tracie found her self-worth and provides practical advice on setting boundaries and healing. Key themes include childhood trauma, toxic workplaces, and finding self-worth.

Jenny and Tracie also share useful tools, books, and concepts to aid you on your healing journey.
