Episode #3 - Emotional Weight Series - People Pleaser, Codependent and Obese
This episode is all about people pleasing, codependency and the link to why it may cause me to want to overeat.  So many people are people pleasers and don't actually realize they need to connect with themselves to fully heal.  Being a people pleaser creates a mask of who you really are.  You may not even know who you are without the approval of others.  I talk about the signs of people pleasing.  The difference between people pleasing and codependency and some realizations to why It makes me want to escape with food.
