Summary

Do you ignore red flags?

Do you feel like you give too much in your relationships?

Do you brush things under the carpet when someone violates your boundaries?

If so, this week’s episode is specifically for you…

The richness and depth of a true connection can only come from giving other people the chance to reciprocate your warmth, kindness, and giving nature…

Because, while it might feel selfless or nurturing to pour into others without receiving in return – it can actually backfire, weaken your connection, and make you feel resentful.

I promise that if you find the courage to be honest, you’ll find more satisfaction, fulfillment, and happiness in your relationships.

It comes out in passive aggressive ways or maybe one day you even explode.

And then the person in front of you says, who is this? I don't know this person.

1:17.0

Because we haven't been giving them a true impression of what our needs are along the way.

doing those things for people I like showing up for people it's just who I am I'm a

1:40.4

very loving person I don't want to cause pain to those people. I love those people.

1:44.6

And anyway, I can handle it. You know, I'm a giving person and yes, sometimes they do things that upset me,
