You, my dear, are not a transaction. You are not worthy only for what you DO, but for who you ARE.

If you've ever felt loved only when you're helpful, useful, or emotionally available, this message is for you. True connection isn't about how much you give—it's about being accepted for who you are, even on your empty days.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Why tying your worth to your productivity leads to burnout and imbalance
• The painful truth about conditional relationships and emotional labor
• How over-giving creates relational deficits and fuels people-pleasing cycles
• Why emotional explosions and burnout are not signs that you're broken
• How to reconnect with your inner child and rewire your nervous system for worthiness
• A gentle invitation to shift from performance-based love to true connection

Challenge for the Week
Take a moment to reflect on where in your life you may be performing for love or shrinking to stay needed. Journal on this prompt:
"What would shift if I believed I was enough—even on my empty days?"
