Shownotes

Why do you keep giving more… and still feel like it’s not enough?

In this episode, I talk about a pattern that’s easy to miss: over giving.

Not as generosity… but as a learned way of trying to be chosen, valued, or validated.

Because when you’re always the one giving more of your time, your energy, or your effort, it creates imbalance. And over time, that imbalance starts to cost you.

I share how this pattern shows up, why it’s so hard to break, and what actually changes when you stop overextending yourself.

This isn’t about becoming cold or closed off.

It’s about recognizing when you’ve been giving from need instead of alignment, and choosing differently. If you’ve ever felt like you’re the one trying harder in relationships, work, or life… this episode is for you.
