Are you giving too much—and calling it service?
In this episode of the Spirit Sherpa podcast, Kelle Sparta breaks down the hidden cost of over-giving and why it shows up so often in people who care deeply about others.
Over-giving doesn’t usually look like a problem at first. It looks like generosity, compassion, and being “there” for people. But over time, it leads to burnout, resentment, and a loss of clarity about what’s actually yours to carry.
Kelle walks through how this pattern forms, how to recognize it in yourself, and what to shift so your giving becomes sustainable instead of draining.
In this Spirit Sherpa episode:
- Why over-giving feels right—even when it isn’t
- The difference between service and self-abandonment
- How burnout builds from repeated over-giving
- What healthy boundaries actually look like
- How to recalibrate your giving without shutting down
If you're a spiritual entrepreneur or working closely with others, this episode will help you spot where you're overextending—and how to adjust without losing your impact.
