Today we’re diving into a pattern so many of us live by — sometimes without even realizing it: over-giving. You know that feeling when you’re the one who always says yes, who always jumps in to help, who keeps everyone else comfortable - but secretly you’re running on empty? It feels noble in the moment, but the truth is: when you keep setting yourself on fire just to keep others warm, you end up burned out, resentful, and disconnected from your own needs.

This episode is about shifting that pattern. We’ll explore why we do this, what it’s really costing us, and how to build a life where you can show up for others without abandoning yourself. Because compassion should never come at the price of your own wellbeing.
