If you've ever said "I'm fine" while desperately needing help, or felt your stomach twist when someone offered support, this one's for you.

I'm tracing where the lie that receiving is selfish actually comes from, how martyr programming gets wired into your nervous system, who benefits when you stay depleted, and what it's costing you to keep refusing. We're talking about the day my body finally called my bluff (cardiac ablation at barely forty), the mindfuck of watching my dad leave my mom for being "selfish," and why the refusal to receive isn't just hurting you, it's dimming collective power.

You'll walk away with a clear understanding of reception as an active practice, not a personality flaw, and one small thing you can try today.
