Why You Keep Giving More Than You Get

We talk a lot about showing up for others. When you’re the one who always gives, shows up, and carries the weight, what happens when no one shows up for you?

In this episode of Trusting Her Journey, we get real about what over-giving is really costing you and why it feels so hard to stop. We unpack:

• Why over-giving creates one-sided relationships that leave you drained
• The hidden fears that make you keep pouring even when your cup is empty
• How disappointment, resentment, and even grief sneak in when you keep giving more than you get
• A healthier way to see love and strength, one that makes space for rest, help, and mutual care

✨ Fuel for the Road Ahead:
Just because you can carry it all doesn’t mean you should. Let go of what drains you so you can finally receive the love and support you’ve been praying for.

💭 Reflection Question:
Where are you giving out of fear of being unseen, instead of love that flows freely?

👉🏽 One Small Step:
This week, choose one way to show up for yourself the same way you show up for others, no apologizing, no guilt. But what happens when no one shows up for you?
