58. Is Your Loyalty Actually Self-Abandonment? How High-Achieving Women Over-Give at Work

from The Balanced Leader: Merging Logic and Heart in Women's Leadership

Who have you been loyal to lately? Your company? Your boss? Your team? Your family? Or yourself?  Loyalty is one of women's greatest strengths… and one of the biggest reasons we burn out. It's what makes us the reliable ones, the go-to problem solvers, the ones who stay late, hold it all together, and fill in the gaps no one else sees. But here’s the truth: loyalty without boundaries isn’t loyalty at all. It’s self-abandonment dressed up as service. Join me this week as I explore the shadow side of loyalty: when your loyalty to others outweighs your loyalty to yourself. You’ll learn how women are socialized to equate loyalty with virtue, how this unspoken contract keeps us stuck in patterns of over-giving and resentment, and reflection questions that will help you conduct a personal loyalty audit.
