S3E2: People-pleasing abroad: maintaining identity admidst cultural adaptation

  • Summary

  • In today's episode, I talk about people pleasing when living abroad and how it may take
    on the role of integrating us into the new country.

    Transitioning to life in a new country comes with its own emotional rollercoaster, a journey that many of us know all too well. This episode addresses the fine line between adapting and losing oneself. With heartfelt stories and practical advice, today's episode is a message of hope for those balancing the desire to please with the courage to stand firm in one's own story.

    And for those interested in Gabor Maté's quote, it was taken from "The myth of normal": “Most people abandon their true selves (authenticity) to please others and keep the relationships (attachments), even if they are ones that are toxic and destructive.”"
