239. Teaching sensitive kids to avoid people pleasing

Recently, I had a frustrating experience that really drove home for me the importance of integrity and human connection in both business and parenting. I had purchased a text watch for my highly sensitive child from a well-known company. When I reached out with a question via email, I quickly realized I was communicating with a human who was using AI to simplify their responses. The AI responses were contradictory and even chastising in tone as I tried to get a straight answer. I felt belittled and unheard, all while trying to advocate for my child's needs. It took me back to a decision I made years ago, when a former mentor suggested I cut labor costs by replacing my master's level team with cheaper, less qualified staff. Listen to today's episode to hear how this experience applies to teaching your HSC to not be people pleasers.  Register for our latest training here: https://www.megghanthompsoncoaching.com/3mistakes
