What’s the difference between being kind and being a people-pleaser? When does compassion cross the line into self-neglect or inauthenticity? In this thoughtful and timely discussion, we’ll explore how the urge to be liked or keep the peace can sometimes mask deeper issues, like fear of rejection, boundary challenges, or lack of self-worth. Are we being truly kind, or are we being “nice” in ways that compromise who we really are?_x000D_

Hosted by El, a social worker with deep insight into emotional patterns and relational health, this conversation will blend psychology with real-life examples to help us better understand our own behaviour and how we relate to others. We’ll explore how to show genuine kindness without sacrificing honesty or integrity, and why understanding this balance is essential for both mental well-being and strong, authentic relationships. Whether you identify as a chronic people-pleaser or are simply curious, you’ll walk away with new clarity and tools for navigating your inner and outer world._x000D_
