About this episode

Are you aware of your preferences and do you share them freely and easily? Or do you tend to float them out there timidly, withdrawing them at the first sign of someone else being bothered or upset? Many nice people tend to downplay their preferences for fear of it being a burden to others.

Join Dr. Aziz in this liberating episode where you will discover why you may be disconnected from your own preferences and how to start advocating for yourself now!
