Episode “Give people pleasing the finger!” Fearne’s no longer trying to be liked
Are you a bit of a people pleaser? Wish you could care a little less what people think about you? To celebrate her new book, Likeable: How I Broke Free From The Need To Please, Fearne’s looking at all the ways she sacrificed her needs and self-expression in order to be more palatable to others...
In this chat, Fearne covers:
-The real personal impact of people pleasing
-How exhausting it is showing up as a performative version of yourself
-Catching yourself feeling like a saintly martyr when you’re putting others’ needs first
-Peer pressure making you change yourself to fit in
-Why differing opinions don’t have to mean conflict
-How to be both kind and boundaried
-Prioritising and voicing your own needs
-Being ok with some people not liking you
Fearne’s new book, Likeable, is out now!
