People pleasing can quietly shape how we move through separation.
It might look like saying yes to arrangements that don’t feel right. Avoiding difficult conversations to keep the peace.
Putting everyone else’s needs first, while ignoring your own.
In divorce, these patterns can feel even stronger. But when we constantly override our own needs, resentment can build and decisions may not reflect what’s truly fair or sustainable.
In this week's episode of The Divorce Podcast, we explored how people pleasing shows up during divorce, how to spot it in yourself, and what healthier boundaries can look like.

I’d love to open this up to the community:
Have you noticed people pleasing tendencies in yourself during your separation? How did you recognise them?
As always, share only what feels comfortable. This is a space for reflection and support
