Amy Wilson, HAPPY TO HELP: Adventures of a People Pleaser

Zibby Books author alert! Amy Wilson returns to the podcast to discuss HAPPY TO HELP: Adventures of a People Pleaser, a hilarious, insightful, transformative, and incredibly relatable collection of essays about how women are conditioned to be “happy to help”—and what happens when things don’t go that way. Amy reflects on her life as a people-pleaser, from her childhood as the eldest of six siblings to a career in acting to raising three children and managing health crises. She talks about how she, and so many women, have been conditioned to prioritize others' happiness and what it's been like to question that.
