Navigating People Pleasing

In this episode, David explores the roots of people pleasing and how it ties into Buddhist teachings on attachment and the need for approval. He shares insights on recognising this behaviour and offers practical ways to cultivate inner confidence and self-worth, freeing ourselves from the cycle of external validation.
