Ep195: When Being a “People Pleaser” Goes Too Far (and How to Set Boundaries) | with Lisa Robison, CCE

<blockquote>“You have to learn to take pride in being the first one to say no.”</blockquote><blockquote>- Lisa</blockquote><p><a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0733223/" rel="nofollow"><strong>Lisa Robison</strong></a> CCE, is a camera assistant turned award-winning editor best known for her work on &#34;Loudermilk,&#34; &#34;My Life Without Me,&#34; &#34;The L Word&#34; and &#34;Firefly Lane,” and most recently she edited the Tribeca feature, &#34;American Dreamer.” Even more impressive than her credits, however, is Lisa’s story of growth and perseverance in the face of massive adversity.</p><p>While we will each have our own unique paths to success, you&#39;d be hard-pressed to find a story more unique or inspiring than Lisa’s. While it’s certainly rare to make the transition from the camera department into post-production, what is even more amazing is that this transition was because of a near-death experience that Lisa shares candidly in today’s conversation. Not only has Lisa persevered through extremely difficult times, she has come out of each experience with a greater understanding of who she is. What really inspired me from this conversation above all else was Lisa really recognizing the true cost of being a ‘people pleaser’ and over committing to too many projects her entire career and how she can set better boundaries in her career going forwards.</p><p>If you find yourself making the same mistakes over and over (particularly when it comes to burnout and overcommitting to too many projects), or if you feel as if you’ve been ‘paying your dues’ far longer than you anticipated, this conversation is for you. You’ll not only learn how to better determine your non-negotiables in order to set yourself up for more sustainable success (and less burnout), but you’ll also learn that success is never lost at the placement of your boundaries. In fact, setting boundaries is in fact where your success will most likely begin.</p><h3>Want to Hear More Episodes Like This One?</h3><p><a href="https://optimizeyourself.
