Most Empaths Think This Is Kindness. It Isn't. #268
Have you ever said yes when you meant no...
Stayed quiet to avoid disappointing someone...
Or put someone else's comfort ahead of your own truth?
Many empaths call this kindness.
But what if it's actually self-abandonment?
In this episode of Your Yes-Filled Life, Brenda explores why so many empaths override their own needs, desires, and inner knowing in the name of being "nice" and how that pattern quietly erodes self-trust.
You'll discover:
✨ Why self-abandonment often gets mistaken for kindness
✨ The hidden belief that keeps empaths prioritizing everyone else
✨ Why people stop trusting your yes when you don't tell the truth
✨ How self-abandonment impacts relationships
✨ The surprising cost of becoming a chameleon
✨ Why discomfort is not the same thing as danger
✨ A powerful reframe from participants inside POWER: Self-Trust for Empaths
✨ Reflection questions to help you identify where this pattern may be showing up in your own life
