Wildly Appropriate w/ Krissy Marsh

Do you say yes when you mean no? That is not kindness, it is fear.

Krissy on the signs you are a people pleaser, why it comes from fear, and the response nobody warns you about. Everyone knows fight and flight... the people-pleasing one is fawn.

What you'll get:
Why saying yes can be fear, not kindness
How fawning shows up with partners and kids
The friend dynamic that quietly drains you
How to say no without the guilt
