Do you ever feel completely wiped out after spending time with a certain friend? Maybe you dread their calls or find yourself constantly walking on eggshells to avoid conflict.
You might be caught in the exhausting cycle of fawning—a people-pleasing behaviour where you prioritise keeping the peace over your own needs.
In this episode, we unpack the hidden toll of fawning in friendships, a dynamic that can leave you feeling resentful, burnt out, and disconnected from your authentic self. We’ll explore:
Why some friendships feel more like a chore than a joy
The difference between healthy compromise & losing yourself
How to spot when you’re stuck in people-pleasing mode
Practical ways to set boundaries without guilt
The liberating truth about what real friendship looks like
Join us as we share personal stories, insights, and actionable tips to help you break free from the trap of fawning & build relationships that energize, rather than exhaust you.
