Why You Keep Getting Taken Advantage Of

from Respectfully Gabby · host Gabby Padron

In this episode, Gabby gets real about what it actually looks like to be taken advantage of—especially during the holiday season, when you’re expected to give, show up, and hold everything together. We dig into why you overextend yourself, why you keep saying yes when you’re exhausted, and why being “the nice girl” ends up leaving you overlooked, underappreciated, and resentful. You’ll hear the truth about overgiving: how it becomes a form of people-pleasing, how it teaches others to take without giving back, and how it slowly chips away at your confidence. This episode is your permission slip to stop performing, stop overdelivering, and stop sacrificing your needs for people who wouldn’t do the same. When you step into a season of boundaries—not burnout—everything shifts: your energy, your relationships, and the way people show up for you.WORK WITH ME: https://stan.store/respectfullygabbyFollow for more on social media: www.instagram.com/respectfullygabbywww.tiktok.com/@respectfullygabby Grab a copy of my book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FBN2NS9P
