Today’s episode brings you another inspiring “I Did It” Series, highlighting the issue of people pleasing—a challenge I often see among the women I coach in my signature program, MACROS 101. Constantly putting others' needs before your own can leave you feeling exhausted and disconnected from your true desires. I'm excited to share Sarah Allred’s story of transformation, where she shifted from being a people pleaser to confidently expressing her needs to her family. Sarah's journey serves as a reminder that prioritizing your own needs is crucial and that your loved ones might be more supportive than you realize. Let’s dive in!
