173: Feeling Invisible and Walked All Over? Doormat vs Welcome mat Energy

Send us a text

Are you a highly sensitive person who’s constantly giving but feeling invisible in your relationships? Do you ever catch yourself wondering, “Do they know I’m here?” or feeling like “They are walking all over me”? Maybe you’ve been feeling used or taken advantage of, and deep down you’re thinking, “I just want to be seen and loved.”

In this episode, I open up about my own journey as a helper, healer, and recovering people pleaser, including the powerful images that came into my mind’s eye during Reiki sessions with client that revealed just how it can feel to over-giving at your own expense. I’ll share 2 impactful stories from my time as a Reiki practitioner—moments when unhealed codependency and energetic imbalances were manifesting through two powerful images... a doormat and a cloak of invisibility. 

Through metaphors like doormat vs. welcome mat energy and the cloak of invisibility, we’ll explore how patterns of over-giving can leave you exhausted, resentful, and wondering if you’ll ever feel truly valued. You’ll also learn practical, heart-centered tools for reclaiming your energy, setting boundaries without guilt, and stepping into relationships where you can be authentically seen and loved for who you are.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
💛 The difference between doormat energy and welcome mat energy
🌀 How codependency keeps you stuck in over-giving cycles
🌱 The role of the solar plexus and heart chakra in emotional boundaries
🧠 What your resentment is trying to tell you
🧍‍♀️ The emotional cost of wearing a cloak of invisibility
✨ How to shift from seeking love through usefulness to receiving love through authenticity
🔮 How Reiki and chakra healing can help process emotional patterns

This episode is especially for you if:

• You’re a recovering people pleaser or codependent personality
• You often feel taken for granted or invisible in relationships
• You give your time, energy, and love freely—but rarely feel nourished in return
• You’re tired of feeling invisible and want to step into your worth
• You’re interested in the intersection of spirituality, energy work, and emotional healing

Ready to Be Seen?
If you’re tired of feeling invisible and drained from always being the “go-to” person for everyone else, this is your sign to step out of the doormat role, take off the cloak of invisibility, and feel safe being seen. You don’t have to prove your worth through over-giving.
