In this week's episode, we wrap up our Holiday Encore Series with a favorite throwback episode. Melissa and Robyn have a candid conversation about the tendency for many of us to become people pleasers. This comes from an innocent place of wanting to be liked and get along, but it can get in the way of healthy confrontation. People pleasing can impede your ability to advocate for your loved one and advocate for yourself. Caregiving is hard work and healthy confrontation is required to get the best outcomes possible. Listen now to hear how Melissa and Robyn have navigated this tough topic and tips to implement on your own journey.
