Are you volunteering wisely or is guilt running the show? Let's unwrap the complexities of giving with genuine intention. Welcome to Holistic Ambition, where your journey to a more fulfilling life takes center stage. In today's episode, we discuss the guilt that can be the catalyst for good deeds if we're not conscious of it, and how it can turn into a proof of our worth. But at what cost?
Tipping the scale from selfless service to self-depletion is a subtle art, one that requires conscious effort and a dash of self-compassion.
Recognizing when to step back is as important as stepping up. Explore 1:1 VIP coaching with me to navigate this balance and volunteer in a way that enriches both you and those around you.
