## Resource

This is part 1 of the "People pleasing vs Authentic Giving" Series. In this episode, we explore the distinction between people pleasing and authentic giving. Guri shares personal experiences of feeling drained and resentful from overextending herself to meet others' expectations. The conversation delves into the roots of people pleasing, its impact on emotional and physical health, and the importance of setting boundaries. Guri emphasizes that true giving comes from a place of abundance and alignment with one's values, rather than fear or obligation. The episode concludes with prompts for self-reflection and a teaser for the next part of the series. https://heyguri.com Takeaways People pleasing often leads to feelings of resentment and exhaustion. Authentic giving comes from a place of abundance, not fear. Setting boundaries is essential for self-care and emotional health. People pleasing is a survival strategy rooted in the fear of rejection. True generosity is grounded in clarity and purpose. You can give fully without overextending yourself. Chronic stress and burnout can result from self-abandonment. Recognizing the urge to say yes when you want to say no is crucial. People pleasing is ultimately self-serving and does not serve others. The journey to authentic giving requires self-awareness and reflection.
