Stop Overgiving and Release the Martyr Pattern


Listen Later

Sister, if you’re feeling depleted, overextended, or like you’re constantly giving to everyone else while putting yourself last, this thought-provoking episode is definitely for you. 


Today, we’re naming a sneaky pattern that keeps so many brilliant women stuck: martyrdom. You may not think of yourself as a martyr, I didn’t either, but if you’re saying yes when you want to say no, overfunctioning in your business and at home, or trying to prove your worth by doing it all… this will resonate deeply.


In this honest and eye-opening episode, I share where the martyr identity begins (hint: it’s not your fault), how it shows up in your business and life, and why it’s silently costing you your income, your joy, your health—and your ability to scale.


I’ll walk you through the mindset and practical shifts that help you break free, reclaim your time and energy, and step into a version of success that doesn’t require self-abandonment.


If you’re ready to lead with boundaries, receive more support, and stop overgiving, this conversation is your permission slip.


In This Episode:


  • Where the Martyr Pattern Begins
  • What It’s Costing You
  • Why You’re Still Doing It
  • The Empowered Question
  • What Happens When You Stop Overgiving
  • Sacred Self-Respect


Inspired Action Steps:

  • Notice: Where in your life or business are you saying yes out of guilt or habit?
  • Ask: What would a woman who honors herself do in this moment?
  • Set one boundary this week that protects your time, energy, or peace.
  • Delegate something you’ve been holding onto unnecessarily.
  • Use this mantra: “My worth isn’t based on how much I give. I am valuable just as I am.”
  • Read Chapter 3 of The Leveraged Business for a deeper dive on boundaries and sustainable success. Get the book at Boldheart.com
