1189. Mel Robbins On Why We People Please and How To Stop It!
Hey, Heal Squad! Before we all sit around the Thanksgiving Day table, we’re throwing it back to one of our most powerful conversations with Mel Robbins… because honestly, there’s no better time than Thanksgiving week to revisit these tools. If you ever find yourself slipping into people-pleasing mode around the holidays, this episode is your reset. Mel breaks down why people pleasing shows up so strongly with family, why it has nothing to do with being “nice,” and how to stop abandoning your own needs just to keep the peace. She also shares how to use her iconic High Five Habit to center yourself before stepping into family gatherings. You’ll walk away with tools like, how to stop managing everyone’s reactions and emotions, what to do when comments or judgments hit a nerve, and tiny, drama-free boundaries you can set in real time. If you want this Thanksgiving to feel different, lighter, healthier, and way more you this throwback episode is for you!
HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:
Dimming Your Light Holds You Back: Maria and Mel discuss how hiding your gifts, energy, or success doesn’t protect others, it deprives the world of what you’re here to give. Someone out there needs the version of you that’s fully expressed.
People Pleasing Isn’t About Pleasing Others: Mel drops a bomb: People pleasing is manipulative. It’s rooted in insecurity and in trying to control how others react to you. Most of it begins in childhood, when we link approval with love and survival.
You Can Only Control Your Attitude and Your Actions: A “high-five attitude” isn’t pretending things are perfect, it’s choosing resilience, perspective, and forward motion, even in painful seasons.
