So many women spend years believing that being loving means giving more. Giving more of their time. Their energy. Their support. Their patience. And without realizing it, they build their sense of worth around being the one everyone can depend on.
In this episode, we unpack why overgiving isn't always about generosity. Sometimes it's about trying to earn love, approval, or a sense of belonging. We explore how childhood experiences shape the roles we take on, why receiving can feel so uncomfortable, and what it takes to stop measuring our worth by how much we do for everyone else.
Through personal stories, coaching insights, and a simple practice to help you pause before you give, we uncover the deeper pattern beneath overgiving, people-pleasing, and overachieving and how to start giving from love instead of proving your worth.
