Ep. 8 | Balance Isn't Selfish

from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel

In today's episode, I'm talking about one of the hardest lessons for helpers and healers - how to love others without losing yourself. We'll explore the difference between caring and caretaking, why overgiving often comes from fear, and how including yourself in the circle of care makes your love steadier, kinder, and more sustainable. Question to carry into your day: Where in your life are you overgiving or overdoing in the name of love - and what would it look like to care for yourself with that same devotion?
