This episode is the second of three in a series of podcasts I’m calling “So you want to be a helper” (SYWTBAH). In the previous episode we talked about selflessness (#51) and the next episode is all about how to be an effective giver (#55). We're taking a deep dive into the all too common practice of self-denial which selflessness is built upon. It’s leaving us chronically stressed, burnt-out, overwhelmed and resentful. Self-denial is unsustainable - so I explain how we fall into this trap and how to GTFO quick. If you're a helper who prides herself in that role, but also struggles with people-pleasing, feelings of under-appreciation for all that you do and frustration of people's demands and entitlement, listening to this episode should be non-negotiable.
