The First Step To Abdicating The Over-Giver Role
You over-give because you don't know the FEELING of fullness that comes from "enough".
That comes from knowing when you are whole or complete in your giving. This is the emotional equivalent to the physical sensation that comes when you have eaten "enough" in a meal.
The problem is, many women - especially the action-taking, driven, leadership types - are distant or disconnected from this feeling of "enoughness" because we have often been conditioned since early childhood to fit into the role of Eternal Giver. (usually from distorted religious teachings around a woman's role as "helper". Just FYI even Jesus himself stopped giving/healing and withdrew from crowds)
This feeling of "enough" comes when we listen and take action from our inner wisdom. Yet if we don't know when enough is, we end up feeling used, resentful and frustrated.
When we have learned to suppress our inner wisdom through this conditioning, it can feel harder to "tune in" to her again, a bit like a radio station.
There are so many competing priorities, competing voices - your partner, your kids, your parents, your colleagues, your team's, society, religious communities; not to mention your internal voices from raging hormonal you to your nasty little inner critic and the sensitive inner child - that it can be a challenge to discern who's who in the zoo.
It's about finding your balance - not anyone else's - for more balance in your life -
- a more balanced work and family life
- more certainty in decisions in life and work spheres
- a more positive work environment and empowered team
- more confidence to navigate an ever-increasing complex and challenging world
- balanced mental, emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing
A life that is full and evolving, fulfilling and peaceful.
If this is you and yet over and over again you're the one (over)giving, being the support person, the phone-a-friend, the one who goes the extra mile, the one who stays quiet to keep the peace..
And you have finally drawn a line in the sand because you don't enjoy being exhausted or the support beam in someone else's house..
Then the first step is to connect more deeply to your inner wisdom.

The Intuition Intensive is a 30 day micro-coaching journey to trust and back yourself to gain more peace, clarity and direction while navigating a complex and fast-paced world.
You will walk away with:
1. A much deeper understanding of yourself and how to "hack" the system that is you to come into alignment with what you desire
2. How to connect to your inner wisdom and unlock that feeling of "fullness" so you never have to over-give again (unless you choose) and can use your energy for building a wildly impactful life instead!
3. Coming back into balance without all the internal turmoil of questions "am I being too much?" "am I being fair?"
4. More confidence and certainty to navigate complex life and leadership decisions
This isn't about you coming to me for advice.
It's not about me answering your questions or giving you direction.
It's not about you becoming reliant and "needing" me to be your guru.
It's about you finally embracing your inner wisdom - the voice that matters and honing your ability to override fear to choose and forge an authentic path for you.
If it's feeling exciting and aligned - let THIS be one of those pivotal catalyst moments to take dominion over this area of your life and step out and trust that your inner wisdom is guiding you to another evolution..
And to play at the extraordinary level you were BORN for.

PS You can honour external voices without allowing them to override who you are, what you stand for and your potential in this lifetime.
