Ep. 187 |[FAVORITE] Balance Isn't Selfish

from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel

I spent five days with my godkids, which I love. And I came home steady, present, and not crashed. That had never happened before. The difference? I included myself in the circle of care before I left. This episode is about the line between caretaking and overgiving, why what we call love is sometimes just fear, and why your steadiness is actually your greatest act of generosity.  Question to carry into your day: Where in your life are you overgiving in the name of love, and what would it look like to include yourself in that same circle of care?  Ready to do this work with real support? Book a strategy call and let's talk about whether the Stop Starting Over System is right for you. https://link.mollycarmel.com/widget/bookings/mc-discoverycall-organic  Let's Stay Connected:  Subscribe on YouTube Instagram: @mollycarmel Check out my Pocket Sages on my Amazon Storefront An Operation Podcast production | @OperationPodcast
