65: When Helping Hurts - Healing the Hidden Cost of Overgiving With Lyn Delmastro-Thomson

In the final episode of The Cost of Carrying It All: Grief, Identity & the Body’s Breaking Point, Darla is joined by healer and energy coach Lyn Delmastro-Thomson for a powerful conversation about the unseen toll of chronic caregiving and emotional over-responsibility.Lyn shares her story of losing her mother — a lifelong caregiver who gave until her body couldn’t anymore — and how that loss became a wake-up call to heal her own patterns of overgiving. Together, Darla and Lyn unpack the body’s way of saying “enough,” the nervous system’s role in chronic exhaustion, and how women can reclaim their vitality without guilt.Guided by the Magnetic Connections Pathway, this conversation moves from Presence — recognizing when your body whispers “too much” — to Agency, the sacred act of choosing what’s truly yours to hold, and finally to Empowerment, where you begin leading your life from fullness instead of fatigue.It’s a journey back to yourself — beneath the stories of duty, depletion, and doing it all.Because healing isn’t about doing more.It’s about finally letting go of what was never yours to hold.Connect with Lyn Delmastro-Thomson:Website: https://heartfirehealingllc.comSafe to be Seen Free Guide: https://heartfirehealingllc.com/safe-to-be-seen/Bold Boundaries Breakthrough Session: https://heartfirehealingllc.com/bold-boundaries/Connect with Darla Ridilla:  🎙️ Launch Your Podcast Without Losing Your Mind A beginner course for people ready to share their voice https://www.highvaluewoman.info/shareyourvoiceFree Course - You Have Something to Say: The 3 Shifts That Help You Stop Overthinking and Start Your Podcast - https://youtu.be/IcXzJDGDUtkWebsite: https://www.highvaluewoman.infoSign up for mailing list: https://www.highvaluewoman.info/connectFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550835718631Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/highvaluewoman7/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HighValueWoman-m7wLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/darla-ridilla-3179b110/Send me an email: [email protected]
