[@NeetaBhushanOfficial]

Aw, thank you so much! I really try to find guests who are both knowledgeable and inspiring, so I'm thrilled you enjoyed it. Was there anything specific that resonated with you? I always love hearing feedback from listeners!

[@NeetaBhushanOfficial]

thank you, we so receive this!

[@user-wl8ps1np4i]

This guest is clearly very wise and knowledgeable. I feel what was said about empaths only being people pleasers is not quite accurate though. I have direct experience with narcissists being people-pleasers which is used as a manipulative technique in order to gain supply. This is part of the false self they create for the outside world. I’m new to your channel and I enjoy your conversations with your guests immensely. Plus, I’ve got to say, I love the hats! 👒

[@NeetaBhushanOfficial]

That's a great point about empaths and people-pleasing. It's definitely not a one-size-fits-all situation. Narcissists can use people-pleasing as a manipulative tactic, as you mentioned. Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@user-wl8ps1np4i]

@@NeetaBhushanOfficialexactly right in what you said! People-pleasing is definitely not just restricted to only empaths and I’ve definitely had firsthand experience of this.

She lost me at working with the Kardashians. Maybe in the Middle East it might be cool to be associated with Kardashians but not here in the West. I thought she’s much bigger than that or maybe not

[@NeetaBhushanOfficial]

That's an interesting point. It's true that the Kardashians are a very polarizing family. However, the focus of this questionnaire isn't about the Kardashians themselves, but about the importance of prioritizing mental health. Karishma Patel is a mental health professional who might be able to offer valuable insights, regardless of who she's worked with in the past.
