Show notes

Being a good person and being a people-pleaser are two very different things.In this episode, we’re talking about why the “nice” person so often ends up feeling overlooked, underpaid, overextended, underappreciated, and frustrated that everyone else seems to get what they want.Because when you’re constantly trying to be easygoing, agreeable, understanding, and low-maintenance, you can accidentally train people to expect less from you — while teaching yourself that having wants, standards, and boundaries makes you difficult.GET THE WORKBOOK: stan.store/respectfullygabby/p/the-identity-upgrade-workbook-gi3vywsrFollow for more on social media: www.instagram.com/respectfullygabbywww.tiktok.com/@respectfullygabby Grab a copy of my book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FBN2NS9P
