This episode is the last of three in a series of podcasts I’m calling “So you want to be a helper” (SYWTBAH). In the previous episodes we talked about selflessness (#51) and self denial (#53). Here we dive into the full spectrum of giving and explore the less commonly known and practiced form of giving that doesn’t leave us burnt out, overwhelmed, depleted or resentful. I bust a harmful belief that traps us into unsustainable giving, built upon selflessness and self-denial. I offer a checklist for evaluating your current giving style and steps to give without sacrificing yourself and your wellbeing in the process. I even tackle some of the most common objections I hear as a coach for changing our selfless giving habits. 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.
