Bryony Gordon on People Pleasing, Boundaries and Why Women Feel Pressure to Do It All

On today’s episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Bryony Gordon, and it was such a joy to record this one together in person. We talk about her new novel People Pleaser, and the pressure so many women face to keep everyone happy, hold everything together and never let a single plate drop, even when we’re completely exhausted. Bryony shares so openly about people pleasing, perfectionism, addiction, OCD and motherhood, and what it really takes to start setting boundaries and live more truthfully. It’s a funny, sharp and very relatable conversation, and I think so many of you will see yourselves in it.
