Summary
Are you trying to prove your generosity, worth, value, intelligence, or integrity to the wrong people? To people who will never really get it?
In this episode of EVOLUTION, I talk about this insidious pattern of trying to prove yourself to everyone -- even people who will never appreciate or be able to receive what you're trying to give (or who you are as a person).
I share a story from my own life of trying to prove myself to the wrong people, including family members and potential clients. I also walk you through a series of powerful prompts for self-reflection, so you can identify where and how you've been trying to prove yourself to the wrong people... and how to stop!
Special acknowledgment: Thank you to Gigi for being so wise and bringing so much clarity to this topic in my life.

| 0:57.8 | at that if you're interested through the link in the show notes. |
| 1:02.8 | So today's topic is, as it often is, born out of my personal life experience and some of |
| 1:09.7 | the things I've been wrestling with and working through |
| 1:12.9 | for myself lately. And I'd say, actually, this is something I've been working on for a long time, |
| 1:20.8 | really sometimes without realizing, has just been part of my life journey, I would say. |
| 1:28.7 | So this topic is something that personally for me has caused me a lot of grief, |
| 1:33.7 | a lot of frustration and stress and inner tension, |
| 1:38.0 | and perhaps it has caused or it is causing a lot of stress for you as well, |
| 1:46.7 | which is why I want to bring it up so we can deal with it head on. So let's start here. Are you a highly sensitive person? Are you an empath? |

| 2:10.7 | Are you so aware of other people's feelings, even when sometimes they aren't aware of those |
| 2:16.9 | feelings themselves? So if you're nodding along |
| 2:21.3 | or saying yes to any of those questions, then you are likely someone who really tries to be kind |
| 2:29.3 | and considerate, polite, very giving in your interactions with other humans. And so perhaps because of your considerate and |
| 2:39.8 | kind nature, you might expect other humans to be just as considerate and kind and respectful in |
