Forgive Yourself

108: Why Receiving Feels So Hard (And How to Begin Allowing It)


Listen Later

Giving comes naturally. Receiving does not.


In this episode, I’m diving into why receiving can feel so uncomfortable, especially for high-achieving, high-functioning women who are used to being the ones who give, support, and hold everything together.


This isn’t just about brushing off compliments. It shows up in your relationships, your work, your business, and even your ability to receive success, opportunities, and financial growth. Receiving requires vulnerability, and if your nervous system learned that it wasn’t safe to be seen, supported, or open, then of course receiving feels unfamiliar. 


But it isn’t something you earn, it’s something you learn to allow.


What You’ll Learn

  • Why receiving feels uncomfortable (and what your nervous system has to do with it)
  • How overgiving can actually block success, support, and recognition
  • The connection between worthiness and your ability to receive
  • Small, everyday ways to practice receiving without overwhelm
  • How to build a sense of safety around being seen, supported, and valued
