And I'll say to you what most people won't.I’m calling bullshit. with love. but it's true.Because at this level, the thing you’re calling kindness, consideration, or “just how I am” is often fear dressed up in sophisticated language.You’re not doing it because you’re such a good person.Well, not only.You’re also doing it because it protects you from something.The uncomfortable conversation.The boundary.The truth.The pivot.Relating to something differen't. and our brains and bodies like FAMILIAR. even if it's costing us. because it doesn't see it that way.The moment where you have to stop managing everyone else’s experience and actually be honest about what you want.And my love, that is expensive.It costs energy. Capacity. Presence. Intimacy. Leadership. Money.In this episode, I’m breaking down the subtle pattern successful women love to call selflessness...and why it might be the exact thing keeping you in energetic debt.I’m opening up a few Laser Sessions this week.If you know there’s a pattern under the pattern and you want my eyes on it, DM me the word LASER on Instagram to claim one of the spots.If this episode hit home, send it to your biz bestie who might need to hear it too.And if you enjoy these conversations, leave a review and let us know.
