Do you find it hard to say "no" to people? Do you tend to put others first? Do you feel guilty setting boundaries? If the answer to any of these questions is "yes", you may be a people pleaser.

People-pleasing is a widespread but misunderstood response to trauma. It can have a huge impact on your mental health, showing up in common psychological conditions including anxiety, co-dependence, and depression. Left unchallenged, people-pleasing habits can lead to chronic discomfort, exhaustion, and resentment.

In Stop People Pleasing, certified life coach Hailey Magee offers an action-based approach to breaking the people-pleasing pattern. Drawing on social science, psychological research, and coaching exercises, Magee gives you the practical tools you need to:

- Understand the origins of your people-pleasing
- Discover your own needs
- Set empowered boundaries
- Courageously advocate for yourself

With fresh insight, heartfelt empathy, and a keen personal understanding of the pitfalls of people-pleasing, Magee will help you to break free from the cycle, overcome your guilt, and reconnect with your own feelings, needs, and aspirations.
