Give and Take

For most of my life, I believed that giving made me valuable. I poured myself into work, relationships, and expectations—until I was running on empty, disconnected from my own needs. In this episode of Inner Temple, I explore the cost of over-giving and the deep healing that begins when we finally learn to receive.Inspired by my soul collage Give and Take, I reflect on a pivotal moment of burnout and the unraveling that followed. Through storytelling, poetic reflection, and spiritual inquiry, I share how I began to reclaim balance—not as a luxury, but as a necessity for living fully and authentically.If you’ve ever felt depleted from doing too much or struggled to rest without guilt, this episode is for you. May it be a reminder that giving and receiving are part of the same sacred rhythm—and that you are all you need.
