Join Chad and Adrian as they dissect the fascinating world of leadership and people-pleasing. Adrian spills the tea on his own journey, where being a leader became his antidote to anxiety and his chance to be Mr. Popular. But hey, there's a catch! Neglecting his own needs in the pursuit of constant helpiness leaves him feeling empty and bitter.
Chad chimes in with some juicy revelations, exposing the dark side of people-pleasing: seeking approval and dodging responsibility. They dive into the consequences of playing the martyr and how it turns relationships into a never-ending debt-collection game. Get ready for a wild ride as they challenge the notion of selflessness and preach the gospel of self-love.
Chad and Adrian spill the tea on leadership, selflessness, and why treating yourself like a doormat is so last season. Tune in for eye-opening insights on finding the sweet spot between serving others and treating yo' self.
In this conversation we:
- reveal shady motivations behind people-pleasing
- expose the dire consequences of neglecting oneself,
- dive into the transactional dynamics of relationships
- debunk the ludicrous idea of treating oneself like a disposable tool.
