The Teen Years - Sharing My Struggles

This is the story of my teenage years (circa 1983) and how I can't believe I made it out alive. Remarkably though, some good did come out of it as I am more prepared to help my daughter through her teenage years. Join me in a trip down memory lane.

How I Stopped Being A People Pleaser

At 40-something years old, I realized the root cause of my unhappiness was my need to please others. I had a disease and it was killing me. People-pleasers are terrified of saying "NO" to anyone. People-pleasers have an insatiable need to be liked and live for hearing the words "You're so nice". This is my story of the moment I realized I had an addiction and what I did to start changing my life.
