Today we're talking about givers versus takers in relationships. Givers, known for their empathy and generosity, often find themselves in imbalanced relationships with takers, who prioritize their own needs without reciprocating. As a life coach specializing in supporting empaths and highly sensitive individuals, I've seen how givers can struggle to set boundaries and prioritize their own well-being.

In this episode, we explore the challenges faced by givers and provide actionable tips for creating more balanced relationships:

Acknowledge the validity of your own needs: Givers often prioritize others' needs over their own, but it's essential to recognize that your needs are just as valid.
Take ownership of setting boundaries: Don't expect takers to intuitively understand your needs. It's up to you to communicate boundaries clearly and assertively.
Intentionally invest in relationships with other givers: Seek out individuals who reciprocate your generosity and support, whether they're already in your circle or new connections.
Prioritize self-care: Proactively fulfill your own needs and practice being your own best friend. Remember, it's not selfish to prioritize your well-being.
Practice speaking up: Share your opinions, desires, and preferences openly to find authentic connections with others who resonate with your true self.
