The Helper Takes a Pause-And Sees What She Couldn’t See While Helping #018

from Identity Matters · host Dr. Kathleen Perry

In this episode, I share a major insight about the deep mental, emotional, and spiritual fatigue I’ve been feeling for months, beyond any physiological issues like adrenal exhaustion.After my mom’s death two months ago (and years of living in a “helper” identity that kept me on the giving end), I realized my giving and receiving feel imbalanced.Now, I’m choosing a true sabbatical from the giver persona and committing to show up for myself in receiving mode, while still continuing the podcast.Is it time to reflect on your own balance of giving and receiving?Sign up for my newsletter: https://drkathleenperry.activehosted.com/f/7
