I thought I was having fun… really, I did. But after the date, I realized that I had been working so hard to make him feel good and to soothe his insecurities that I lost track of what I wanted and how I was feeling! In this episode, I share a personal story from a recent date, where I struggled to find the balance between pleasing my date and staying true to myself. With the help of the guides, we take a deep dive into the pitfalls of people-pleasing, the difference between judgment and discernment, and how we can stay authentic in our relationships. This episode is all about setting boundaries, embracing our worth, and trusting our inner wisdom when it comes to connecting with others.
