Iβve always thought people-pleasing was part of my personality. I realized it wasnβt; it was a defense mechanism I activated every time I felt that someone didnβt like me or was going to be abandoned by someone I cared about because I didnβt know my worth. Even when I started, sustained, and sold my million-dollar business, I was still feeling like I wasnβt enough. For the past 3 years, Iβve been focusing on this feeling, healing from this feeling, and growing from it.
