How do we break the chronic urge to please others and over explain?

ou have already answered, yet you keep adding reasons. You have agreed to help, although you wanted to say no. Afterwards, you wonder why being honest felt harder than making yourself uncomfortable.

What are we trying to prevent through all that pleasing and explaining?
This week, we’ll explore the urge to manage other people’s reactions, the cost of constantly making ourselves acceptable, and how to speak with kindness without defending our right to have a preference.

Before joining us, reflect on your own experience.
Come with your thoughts, experiences and questions.

A few things before you join:
Please come from a quiet, private space where you can be fully present. Cameras are expected to be on — this is a conversation rather than a webinar, and being able to see one another helps us create the trust and human connection that makes these discussions possible.

Bring a cup of tea or whatever makes you comfortable, settle in, and come ready to listen as much as you speak.

One Question. One Hour. Many Perspectives.
