Welcome to this week’s ICYMI, where we kick off the week with a quick game-changing tip from one of our guests that you might have missed.

Am I a people-pleaser? Or just really freaking kind and considerate? Or a little conflict-adverse? Is it really that problematic? This week, we're throwing it back to our perspective-shifting conversation with Kristina Virro about the main intentions behind people-pleasing tendencies, how it can disrupt our authentic relationships, and how to get comfortable with not being liked by everybody.

Kristina is a Registered Psychotherapist and Holistic Nutritionist, who is dedicated to reducing stigma around mental health and helping people learn effective strategies to feel less stuck and more empowered. She provides psychotherapy and nutritional counselling at her wellness clinic, Fresh Insight, and she has shared her expertise with major outlets like CP24, Canadian Living, and Global News Live. You might have seen her on social media, where she’s amassed over 100,000 followers on TikTok for her no-bullshit real talk about therapy and mental health.
