Inspired by a conversation I recently had with my 16-year-old son, I’m breaking down people-pleasing in a way that teens can understand and showing how the same tools I use with my coaching clients can help younger generations too. Learning to recognize these patterns and find your voice early is such a gift. Whether you're sharing this episode with a teen in your life or using these concepts to help guide and encourage them, I hope this episode gives you both more confidence to start speaking up. Here’s what I cover: The conversation that inspired this episode and why so many teens struggle to speak up Why people pleasing begins in childhood as a survival strategy before it starts holding us back The difference between the discomfort of staying stuck and the discomfort that comes with growth Why people pleasing can actually damage the relationships you're trying to protect Three steps to help your teen practice speaking up and build confidence one conversation at a time Reserve your seat for my next workshop: sarafisk.coach/voice Find Sara here: sarafisk.coach pages.sarafisk.coach/difficultconversations instagram.com/sarafiskcoach facebook.com/SaraFiskCoaching tiktok.com/@sarafiskcoach youtube.com/@sarafiskcoaching1333","meta_description":"People-pleasing tendencies start much earlier in life than many of us realize, and there comes a point when children need to begin unlearning those behavi…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1193,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-ex-good-girl-podcast-6037423/episodes/episode-170-the-people-pleasing-conversation-i-had-with-my-teenager/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-ex-good-girl-podcast-6037423/episode-170-the-people-pleasing-conversation-i-had-with-my-teenager.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
