In this first episode, I explore our relationship to being liked — people pleasing vs. pleasing yourself.
I address questions such as:
- How and when did your relationship to being liked begin?
- What is does it mean to be liked? Where did it come from? Why is being liked important?
- What’s a healthy relationship to/with being liked look like?
- What does an unhealthy relationship look like?
- What’s enough? What is too little?
- What are the pros? What are the cons?
- What other relationships does it affect?

Join the Conversation
I do not claim to be a thought leader on all of these subjects, but I am a thought breeder. My favorite part of doing these podcasts is participating in the conversation they breed. Each week, I ask one question. This week, it is this:
Question: What single brave decision do you need to make today? Share your answer on Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn.
This Week’s Challenge
Do something you absolutely like even if it’s not popular, appears anti-social, or means you have to say “No” to someone else. For example paint, garden, play basketball, visit a tourist spot, salsa dance, or cook—whatever floats your boat.
