Summary
People pleasing isn't a personality flaw — it's a fear response rooted in childhood, perfectionism, and the deep need to stay loved and safe. You keep saying yes, over-explaining, managing everyone's comfort, and somewhere in the process, you've lost track of what you actually want. Susan Podbielski is a licensed psychotherapist and NYU Langone Fellow who spent a decade in clinical practice — after burning out as a network TV producer — helping high-achieving women break this pattern for good. This episode gives you the roots, the real costs, and the first practical steps back to yourself. ──────────────────────────────────────────CONNECT WITH SUSAN PODBIELSKI: 🌐 Website: https://www.susanpodbielski.com 📧 Contact: [email protected] 📅 Free Consultation: https://calendly.com/susanpodbielski/20min 📰 Substack — Notes From a Therapist: https://susanpodbielski.substack.com ────────────────────────────────────────── Learn more about your ad choices.
