July 14, 2026Having A Big Heart Is Overrated ❤️‍🩹
🎙️ Welcome to SpeakUPZee Podcast, the show designed to motivate, inspire, and uplift through honest conversations that matter.

In this episode, Zee challenges a phrase we hear all the time — having a big heart is overrated. ❤️‍🩹

Caring deeply is a gift, but without boundaries, it can leave you drained, taken advantage of, and constantly putting yourself last. This conversation is about protecting your peace, loving wisely, and realizing that a good heart should never come at the expense of your own well-being.

💬 Drop a comment: Have you ever had to learn that having a good heart doesn’t mean saying yes to everyone?
