Episode 13: Why You're Exhausted from Giving So Much

Have you ever found yourself constantly showing up for everyone else—only to end up exhausted, resentful, and wondering why no one seems to show up for you?

In this episode, we're exploring the hidden cost of over-giving. Not from a place of blame or judgment, but from a place of curiosity. Because sometimes what looks like generosity on the outside is actually a survival strategy on the inside.

We'll talk about why so many of us become the caretaker, the fixer, or the dependable one, how our self-worth can become tied to being needed, and why saying "yes" to everyone else often means saying "no" to ourselves.

We'll explore:

• why over-giving can become an unconscious pattern
• the connection between people-pleasing and self-worth
• why resentment is often a sign you've abandoned your own needs
• how this dynamic impacts your relationships
• what it looks like to give from love instead of fear

If you've ever struggled to ask for what you need, felt guilty for setting boundaries, or wondered why you're always the one holding everything together, this conversation is for you.

Because feeding everyone else's fire while ignoring your own will eventually leave you burned out.
