Trust Us. People Pleasing IS Burning You Out.

Have you ever said yes to your boss when you really wanted to say no? Or agreed with a colleague even though your gut was telling you they were wrong? In this episode of But Are You Happy, clinical psychologist Dr. Anastasia Hronis unpacks the psychology of people pleasing—why we do it, why we feel guilty when we don’t, and how it shows up in the workplace. You'll also learn:  The hidden costs of saying yes too often How being overly agreeable can lead to burnout Practical tools for assertive communication at work How to set healthy, professional boundaries with colleagues If you or someone you know needs support, contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636.
