You Are Your Greatest Gift · May 20, 2026 · 8m

“I don’t need to do something externally to try to fix an internal problem.”

Sometimes people pleasing isn’t really about being “nice.”

In this episode, Carmen explores the connection between empathy, discomfort, and the ways we abandon ourselves to regulate what we feel around us.

✨ Why highly sensitive people often people please

✨ The link between discomfort and self-betrayal

✨ Learning to ask: “Is this mine?”
