In this episode, Javier tries to talk me into being a cult leader, discusses his near shark attack, funeral etiquette, name drops his high school buddy Pitbull and a few other celebrities, and explains Brazilian butt lifts to me. He also offers his hot take on dental plans and Cuban doctors. Apparently no topic is off the table in this exciting part 2 episode! Please join us!  And, listen to Pretend, a more pulled together podcast than ours, but my hot mess friends will still love it!

People Pleasing? Puh-leeze Stop it!

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2464990/fan_mail/new] ADHD people are more likely to be people-pleasers as a survival mechanism to avoid rejection and cope with emotional regulation. I am guilty of it too, but we need to find a way to break this cycle of pleasing. It is okay to be kind and do things for others but don't make it cost your personal values. Recognize what you want to do versus what you feel obligated to do to keep the peace. Gradually set small boundaries to get back to having confidence without the fear of negative reactions. If your friends don't care what you value, or criticize you often, it might be time to move on to better people who respect your boundaries and feelings. You got this!
